Descriere How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter, New Edition - Sherwin B. Nuland

In an age when death occurs in sterile seclusion and is cloaked in euphemi sm and taboo, How We Die is a vital revelation. Clearly, frankly, yet compassionately, it tells us how most of us are likely to die--and in doing so , suggests how we may live more fully and meaningfully. Written by a distinguished surgeon, How We Die succeeds in restoring death to its ancient place in human existence. \n \nNew Edition With a new chapter addressing contemporary issues in end-of-life care\n \nA runaway bestseller and National Book Award winner, Sherwin Nuland's How We Die has become the definitive text on perhaps the single most universal human concern: death. This new edition includes an all-embracing and incisive afterword that examines the current state of health care and our relationship with life as it approaches its terminus. It also discusses how we can take control of our own final days and those of our loved ones.\n \nShewin Nuland's masterful How We Die is even more relevant than when it was first published.\n
