David R Godine, Publishers Gripptng and often shocklng photographs of and about deat Before the scientific advances of the 20th century death was a common and close companion, an expected visitor in infancy, childhood and adulthood. But death in our culture has became a taboo subject, the ultimate obscenity, a prospect of terror, and near disbelief.

Essays by the author accompan the six sections, probing our responses and raising questions about the images on display in each section.
