In this sensitive and lucid account, Pauline Boss explains that, all too often, those confronted with ambiguous loss fluctuate between hope and hopelessness. Suffered too long, these emotions can deaden feeling and make it impossible for people to move on with their lives. Yet the central message of this book is that they can move on. Drawing on her research and clinical experience, Boss suggests strategies that can cushion the pain and help families come to terms with their grief.

Nobody teaches you how to grieve. This is the strange truth at the center of an experience so common it touches every person who has ever lived long enough to lose someone. A hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken. From the neuroscience of loss to the mourning rituals of the Torajan highlands, the burning ghats of Varanasi, and the jazz funerals of New Orleans, this book traces grief across biology, history, culture, economics, and the deeply personal.

Death comes too soon for some and too late for others, but in the end it does come for us all. Yet we spend much of our lives ignoring it, fearing it, or attempting to postpone it.

Funeral homes are immediately recognizable features of the American landscape, and yet the history of how these spaces emerged remains largely untold. In Preserved, Dean Lampros uses the history of this uniquely American architectural icon to explore the twentieth century's expanding consumer landscape and reveal how buildings can help construct identities.

Пока человек жив, он мало задумывается над тем, ЧТО ожидает его, возможно, уже в следующую секунду: ведь сколько прекрасных строк оборвалось на полуслове и скольким добрым делам так и не суждено было исполниться лишь только потому, что люди в суете житейской всё самое лучшее и необходимое постоянно откладывали и продолжают откладывать «на потом», забывая о том, что в следующее мгновение этого «потом» у них уже может и не быть вовсе.
