5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Publication for Student and Layman Alike
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2009
Verified Purchase
While I am an undergraduate student in psychology, I have been blessed with a highly supportive professor that permitted me entrance into his Introduction to Thanatology graduate course. This book allowed me an immediate understanding that was both in depth and easy to digest.

Many texts on the subject of death and dying skirt the subject with veiled euphemisms. They often attempt to soften the reality of death in both its physical nature and historical context, however, this publication does neither. It is direct, informative, and, even for a required reading, difficult to put down. It says quite a bit about the authors of this book that they not only come so highly recommended by my professor (who is also a published author in this field), but also by the group of students being tested on its content. Very well done!

This book is a good book to help people better understand the processes of dying. My death and dying class at college uses this book and it is both informative and easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works in place of newest edition.

This edition is good. There are areas that are boring and stories that really have no meaning. But you can use this book in place of the newest edition. If you have no background in medical, then there will be times you have to look things up.

The book was in perfect condition to serve its purpose. Took around a week to get here. There might be a cheaper option out there for sure but this was definitely a decent price and a good buy.
