ISBN: 9780786497997 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The long history of medical care for the dying has largely been neglected.

Dealing with Death and the Eternal Life - Radical Approaches to the Afterlife
ISBN: 9781680320343 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While death is the ultimate outcome for any living being, the afterlife is a much more ephemeral situation. While every culture and religion has its own personal comprehension of an afterlife, the multitude of answers to this question means that the curious individual should do some research on those different states, such as Heaven, Purgatory, Hell, Nirvana, Valhalla, the Elysian Fields, et cetera, and then to look inward and see what that individual feels to be true. In more practical terms, you can always prepare for your passing. If you have a lot of possessions or you want to make things...

ISBN: 9781910121399 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Franek Kluski produced what might justifiably be described as the widest and most striking range of phenomena in the history of physical mediumship. A Pole whose professions included banking and journalism, his involvement with psychical research lasted for a brief period between 1918 and 1925. During that time he took part in meticulously documented seances devised and attended by eminent researchers. Much of the information about him has until now been available only in Polish, and today references to him in English tend to be restricted to the famous 'Kluski hands', the paraffin wax moulds...

Taking as its starting point the significant role of the photograph in modern mourning practices--particularly those surrounding public figures--Dead Matter theorizes the connections between the body and the image by looking at the corpse as a special instance of a body that is simultaneously thing and representation.
