The Third Edition, with its expanded coverage, maintains its social-psychology approach and is appropriate as a primary text in death and dying, thanatology, sociology of dying, death and bereavement, psychology of death, and relating to the terminally ill courses.  The teaching and field experience of Leming and Dickinson add a realism and credibility that competing texts do not possess.  Features: * Use of personal accounts and the authors' own research add interest. * Coverage of both theory and application prepares students to use what they learn. * Discussion of ethical dilemmas associated with current technologies adds depth and realism.  New to this edition: * Material on AIDS, SIDS and the elderly expands on coverage in previous editions. * Updated research and revised definitions of death challenge students and instructors to rethink their ideas about death. * Chapter 10 includes new material on native Americans, Irish-, Russian- and African-Americans, and the customs of New Orleans and Appalachia.

Sociology and Christianity? Attempting to bring sociology and Christianity together is like trying to mix oil and water. Christians seem to have as little regard for sociology as sociologists generally have for Christianity. However, in the middle of this conflict there is a group bold enough to call themselves "Christian sociologists"; they are not willing to be stereotyped but are seriously committed to both realms. This collection of essays covers topics that are typically addressed in introductory sociology courses. Written from a Christian point of view, these essays are also geared for a wide range of readers from undergraduates to professional sociologists who bring faith commitments to the sociological task. The editors' goal is to provide an understanding of societal forces that is informed by a Christian conscience. Toward that end, certain recurring themes are found in this book: the need for informed Christian social action, the conflict between the individual and the community, the conflict between freedom and determinism, and the significance of social sin.
