This engaging and informative resource provides readers with an
understanding of the social, cultural, and historical influences
that shape our encounters with death, dying, and bereavement-a
universal experience across humanity. Written in an engaging and
accessible style by leading international scholars and
practitioners from within the field of death and bereavement
studies, this book will have broad appeal, providing in a single
volume insights from some of the key thinkers within the
interdisciplinary field of death, dying, and bereavement. Its
approximately 200 entries will serve as useful starting points for
those new to the topic and will be informative to those already
acquainted with some of the core concepts and ideas within this
burgeoning field of inquiry. This encyclopedia will serve as an
essential resource for high school and undergraduate students,
those engaged in independent research, and professionals whose work
involves caring for the dead, dying, and bereaved. It will also be
of great interest to general readers intrigued by the social,
medical, and cultural dimensions to human mortality. Underscored by
the inescapable biological certainties that affect us all, The A-Z
of Death and Dying offers a highly relevant examination of the
social and historical variation in the rituals, practices, and
beliefs surrounding the end of life. Provides comprehensive yet
easily accessible and concise entries that offer insight into the
expanding study of death, dying, and bereavement Contains more than
200 engaging entries from key thinkers and practitioners within the
interdisciplinary field of death studies Addresses a wide range of
topics of both contemporary and historical interest, including
memorial tattoos, Facebook grieving, and so-called "dark tourism,"
which reflect shifting attitudes and practices surrounding
end-of-life issues
