Kicking the bucket, pushing up daisies, cashing in your chips - nothing is going to change your life quite the way death will. Dying is going to interrupt whatever you are doing and put paid to your plans for the future - it's no wonder that our own mortality puts the fear of death into us! "The Book of Death" tells you everything you need to know about dying! It offers insights into the great unknown from the people who know - nurses, palliative care specialists, forensic pathologists, funeral directors, and more. It also uncovers the mysteries and anxieties of the dying process, explains different religious rituals and beliefs, examines the possibility of an afterlife, and - with anecdotes, quizzes and famous last words - encourages us to look at the funny side of death. Understanding and accepting death can help you appreciate and enjoy your life, right here, right now!
