{"product_id":"the-changing-face-of-death-glennys-howarth-9780333638637","title":"The Changing Face of Death: Historical Accounts of Death and Disposal","description":"The taboo on death is at last breaking down. There is far greater receptivity to informed discussion about death and dying. Dying with dignity is one major issue: euthanasia and the 'natural death movement' are the latest stages in a debate first stimulated by the hospice movement. Media treatment of the bereaved, especially after disasters, has attracted some adverse criticism, yet after the decline of traditional customs of mourning, people seek new models of acceptable behaviour at a time of death. The book argues that attitudes to death and to disposal are culturally formed and examines the factors in the formation and decline of such attitudes by analysing specific issues over four centuries of death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glennys Howarth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333638638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333638637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Glennys Howarth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47421304865023,"sku":"9780333638637","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e445b939-6903-4698-9d0d-eec5681bc2b9.jpg?v=1761526778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-changing-face-of-death-glennys-howarth-9780333638637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
