内容説明

Looks at how death has been treated and dealt with in modern history - the history of the past 250 years - in a global context through a mix of definite, often quantifiable changes, and complex, qualitative assessment of the subject, thereby offering the reader a comprehensive overview of the historiography and hisorical context of the subject. Provides access to the rich and growing historiography on a subject that is studied both on its own and as part of broader courses on modern world, social and cultural history ensuring that it has relevance for those who require both an overview of the topic and to drill down more specifically into this history of death. An up-to-date study of the subject, it is both more comprehensive in scope and historical than other recent offerings on death, making it desirable to a market that has been looking for such a study for several years.
