The central theme of this innovative book is the significance that people ascribe to death, both within and beyond their religious beliefs, and why this should be so. The book provides an in–depth account of the psychology of death and bereavement and, in doing so, places these subjects within the contexts of the major world religions and their associated mourning and funeral customs. It also includes certain aspects of death – such as death–bed visions, near–death experiences and the commonly experienced ‘sense of the presence’ of the deceased – which are not normally included in books dealing with the psychology of death and bereavement.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
