Over the past three decades, scholarship in thanatology has increased dramatically. This text localizes a broad array of perspectives that research, analyze, and interpret the many interrelations and interactions that exist between death and culture. Culture not only presents and portrays ideas about ?a good death? and norms that seek to achieve it, but culture also operates as both a vehicle and medium through which meaning about death is communicated and understood. Sadly, too, culture sometimes facilitates death through violence. 606 $aSocial sciences 615 0$aSocial sciences. 676 $a300.3 702 $aSteffen$b Lloyd H.$f1951- 702 $aHinerman$b Nate 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813952603321 996 $aDeath, dying, culture$94002365 997 $aUNINA
