Boring Text - This book is truely boring...Its a book you have to just concetrate and read. I feel its a punishiment but I guess thats EDUCATION...for you!

required reading - conservative approach - I have to read this for a sociology class. I am through Chapter 5. The editors do a good job of designing the chapters to cover a diversity of viewpoints. Conclusions in the Financing section are challenged in a new book by TR Reid in "The Healing of America." The book provides a solid overview of issues related to death and dying, very helpful.
