What Death Means Now: Thinking Critically about Dying and Grieving
ISBN: 9781447337362 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although death is universal, how we respond to it--how we ready ourselves for death and how we grieve--depends on when and where we live. New preparations for dying, new kinds of funerals, new ways of handling grief, and new ways to memorialize are continually evolving, and with them come new challenges. Bringing to bear twenty-five years of work on the sociology of death and dying, Tony Walter engages critically with key questions such as: should we talk about death more and plan in advance? How possible is advance planning as more people suffer frailty and dementia? How do physical...

The unexpected death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in Paris on August 31st 1997 led to a period of mourning over the next week that took the world by surprise.

How did these institutions and the public create a cultural order in the face of such disorder? Both those involved in the mourning and those who objected to it struggled to understand the depth and breadth of emotion shaking Britain and the...

The Heart of Mid-Lothian
ISBN: 9780140431292 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 864 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jeanie Deans, a dairymaid, decides she must walk to London to gain an audience with the Queen. Her sister is to be executed for infanticide and, while refusing to lie to help her case, Jeanie is desperate for a reprieve. Set in the 1730s in a Scotland uneasily united with England, The Heart of Mid-Lothian dramatizes different kinds of justice--that meted out by the Edinburgh mob in the lynching of Captain Porteous, and that encountered by a terrified young girl suspected of killing her baby. Based on an anonymous letter Scot received in 1817, this is the seventh and finest of Scott's...

The Revival of Death
ISBN: 9780415118545 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Frequent assertions that death is taboo can be seen as evidence of a revival of interest in dying and bereavement. Traditional religious discourse lacks plausibility, yet modern medical and bureaucratic discourse fails to tally with the personal experience of many dying and bereaved individuals. The current revival, while reinstating some traditional practices and retaining professional expertise, seeks ultimate authority elsewhere: in the individual self. The new death is personal, facilitated by palliative care, the life-centred funeral, and bereavement counselling.
