How We Die
Dr Sherwin B Nuland
Pages: 269, Category: Non-fiction
Publisher: Vintage
In an age when death occurs in sterile seclusion and is cloaked in euphemism and taboo, this book is a vital revelation. Clearly, frankly yet compassionately, it tells us how most of us are likely to die and, in doing so, suggests how we may live more fully and meaningfully. Nuland describes the mechanisms of cancer, heart attack, stroke, AIDS and Alzheimer’s disease with clinical exactness and poetic eloquence – and with the sensitivity of a man recalling his own intimate losses.
