Developed from an Open University (UK) undergraduate course in health studies titled "Death and Dying," this anthology collects 34 reprinted readings from 1973-2007 (not all are dated). From psychological, sociological, spiritual, and demographic perspectives, the first part focuses on conceptualizations of death. Readings next treat end of life issues in the context of individuals, organizations, and systems, and the relationships between them. Moral/ethical questions are explored regarding palliative care, withdrawal of treatment, and euthanasia. Selections then discuss grief and memorialization (online as well as traditional). Research issues and gaps are also addressed. Making Sense of Death, Dying and Bereavement (Sage, 2008) is the companion volume. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
