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. This extraordinary book, assembled from the archives of Harvard University, offers an unflinching look at death by violence, by suicide, by old age and disease. Essays by the author accompan the six sections, probing our responses and raising questions about the images on display in each section.
