Death And Anti-Death, Volume 8: Fifty Years After Albert Camus
(1913-1960) is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.: ISBN
978-1-934297-10-0 is the Hardback edition and ISBN
978-1-934297-11-7 is the Paperback edition. Volume 8, as indicated
by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Albert Camus
(1913-1960). The chapters do not necessarily mention him (but some
chapters do). The chapters (by professional philosophers and other
professional scholars) are directed to issues related to death,
life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. 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. (Volume 8 also includes a BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS section.)

thinkers and doers, including: ------Gregory M. Fahy (Founder of
biological vitrification research for large-scale organ banking)
