Death: The Trip of a Lifetime

Greg Palmer had the urge to sniff around death s edges but not get down to the bare bones, so to speak. He s your tour guide on the Trip of a Lifetime, a revealing, globe-trotting exploration of the fascinating ways people live with the knowledge that the phrase life goes on is somewhat inaccurate. From slasher films as positive death images & a lighthearted look at the ancient art of body snatching to religious, spiritual, & philosophical theories about what might come after Death, Palmer deftly links diverse individuals, cultures, beliefs, & practices worldwide to recognize the universal in all mortality. Based on the PBS series. Color photos.
