Reviews"...a wonderful edited collection I encourage any death scholar to read...I personally hope more volumes like this will emerge and that death scholars will continue to reflect about their subjective involvement in researching death as this makes for a richer field of study." * Dead Good Reading "The book takes a reflexive approach so that the authors contribute both scholarship and personal reflections... it works very well." * Simon Shimshon Rubin, University of Haifa "It's good and interesting, with chapters that all have interesting things to say about matters of death and dying." * Paul C.

SynopsisLooking at the cultural responses to death and dying, this collection explores the emotional aspects that death provokes in humans, whether it is disgust, fear, awe, sadness, anger, or even joy. Whereas most studies of death and dying treat the subject from an objective viewpoint, the scholars in this collection recognize their inherent connection with death which allows for a new and more personal form of study. More broadly, this collection suggests a new paradigm in the study of death and dying.
