Description
Kicking the bucket, pushing daisies, meeting your maker, passing away, the final frontier.
We use countless euphemisms to avoid speaking of death, but despite our innate fear, death is a natural part of life. It is coming to all of us whether we like it or not. So, why is it so taboo in our culture?
This comprehensive compendium fearlessly explores the macabre world of death through religion, culture, psychology, law, philosophy, biology, and technology. Tackling our deepest anxieties head-on, the book covers morbidly fascinating topics such as reincarnation, cemetery tourism, cryogenics, near-death experiences, and the virtual afterlife.
Thought-provoking, intriguing, and candid, Kicking the Bucket will take you on an extraordinary journey down the river Styx, help demystify your fears of death, and encourage you to gain a new appreciation of life.
