"Dr David Jarrett, a gerontologist with forty years of professional experience with people at the end of their lives, has recently published a compelling and illuminating book, which contemplates the realities of growing old in the modern age and explores what a good death should look like and what we'd want for ourselves. There have been some excellent reviews - The Independent described it as, 'A remarkably likeable guide to a grisly subject ... daunting, yet ultimately life-affirming.'" näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
What is a good death? How would you choose to live your last few months? How do we best care for the rising tide of very elderly? This unusual and important book is a series of reflections on death in all its forms: the science of it, the medicine, the tragedy and the comedy. Dr David Jarrett draws on family stories and case histories from his thirty years of treating the old, demented and frail to try to find his own understanding of the end. And he writes about all the conversations that we, our parents, our children, the medical community, our government and society as a whole should be having. Profound, provocative, strangely funny and astonishingly compelling, it is an impassioned plea that we start talking frankly and openly about death. And it is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on 'the seventh age of man'. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
