Synopsis

"In this book, I aim to take a fresh look from a sociological perspective at both earlier assumptions and current issues about death and dying. Specifically, the major source of my theoretical perspective is symbolic interactionism. By examining the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the dying and those affected by death from this perspective, we can gain greater insight into the subtle relationships these actors have with each other and, more-over, with death.
