The fascination with death is reflected in popular media such as newspapers, television documentaries, films, and soaps, and, moreover, in the multiplying range of professional roles associated with dying and death. Yet despite its ubiquitous significance, the majority of texts in the field have been written primarily for health professionals. This book breaks with that tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive discussion of the key topics in death and dying and, in so doing, demonstrates that the study of mortality is germane to all areas of sociology. The book is organised thematically, utilising empirical material from cross-national and cross-cultural perspectives. It carefully addresses questions about social attitudes to mortality, the social nature of death and dying, explanations for change and diversity in approaches, and traditional, modern, and postmodern experiences of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeath and Dying\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to students across the social sciences, as well as professionals whose work brings them into contact with dying or bereaved people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596123783404,"sku":"9780745625348","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745625348-death-and-dying.jpg?v=1777917075"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/glennys-howarth.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
