"this book contains many significant contributions to the field. It is a collection of essays by various authors who have established themselves as important contributors to the growing literature in this area, and who generally take this opportunity to present elaborations or developments of their views... Overall, there is much here to reward 'philosophical thanatologists,' whether they are new to the field or already well steeped in the literature." -- Eldon Soifer, Philosophy in Review
