A description of the anthology DEATH AND ANTI-DEATH, VOLUME 5:
THIRTY YEARS AFTER LOREN EISELEY (1907-1977) follows: Volume 5, as
indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Loren Eiseley
(1907-1977). The chapters do not necessarily mention him. The
chapters (by professional philosophers and other professional
scholars) are directed to issues related to death, life extension,
and anti-death. Most of the contributions consist of scholarship
unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in
the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the
anthology includes an Index as well as an Abstracts section that
serves as an extended table of contents. (With Volume 5, you will
also find a new section entitled BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS.) The 17
chapter titles are as follows: 1. Asking The Unaskable Question -
