Death: The Trip of a Lifetime

Who said the reaper has to be grim? Filled with the frightening, funny, poignant, and just plain weird, this delightfully different travelogue follows one man's quest to discover how people around the world cope with the incontrovertible fact of death. The result is a wise, witty, decidedly quirky celebration of how we all face life. Explores human beings simultaneous fear and fascination with death; the physiological and psychological experience of death; the world's funeral and grieving rites; and religious, spiritual, and philosophical theories about immortality.
