not that different from texts already being used on the course

Was hoping for more philosophical discussions on death rather than the more specific research questions that the book covers. Too many articles are out of the scope of the subject.

I think that the chapters that focus around the end of life will be of interest to our students as they explore some of the issues. I have also found the writing around the topics of research in sensitive areas of great use to my MSc students.

This is a very interesting and helpful textbook that uses evidence based practice, reflections and experience to help anyone involved in end of life care of a wide variety of patients. It covers all aspects of care, ethics and religious beliefs that help the reader explore and challenge the contemporary issues involved. I used this textbook to guide a student nurse who was extremely uncomfortable and frightened to conduct last offices on a patient, and there are many concise but very useful sections that I was able to use. The student nurse still has this book so it must still be useful and serving it's purpose.

A very useful and readable book to read alongside sociology of birth literature. I think it is vitally important to draw parallels between these two rites of passage.
