Reviews
"This book is about a fascinating topic. It is about the death retreats (bhavan) of Kashi where Hindu people go to die. It is also about the way in which individuals in the bhavan make sense of death within their social/cultural and religious environment. And it is about the relationship between an individual's understanding of the good death to that person's actual experience of dying and the interaction between the cultural and physiological processes of dying." -- Dorothy Counts, University of Waterloo "This is a wonderful book in that it brings to life the experience of those pursuing a good death in Benares. Case studies of actual pilgrims and the response of their families allow the reader to gain a rare glimpse behind the scenes of media images of Hindu cremation ceremonies at the banks of the Ganges River. "There is considerable interest in the experience of death cross-culturally. The book suggests lessons such studies can provide for the West which is currently experiencing considerable ambiguity with respect to the concept of a good death." -- Mark Nichter, University of Arizona

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
