In the first half of the book, physicians and the founder of hospice discuss the current clinical setting for dying, with attempts to find the balance between alleviating suffering and life support, the problem of finding a peaceful death and the differences the AIDS epidemic has made in our attitudes toward dying. In the second half of the book, theologians, historians of religion, anthropologists, literary scholars and pastors describe Christian, Judaic, Islamic, Hindu and Chinese per-ceptions of death and rituals of mourning. An epilogue con-siders the resonances between medicine and the humanities, as well as the essential differences in their approaches to death.…
