Beschreibung

'Death Care Systems' offers a comprehensive exploration of how societies worldwide manage mortality, weaving together medical practices, cultural traditions, and ethical considerations in end-of-life care. This multifaceted examination reveals the complex interplay between modern healthcare systems and age-old cultural practices, demonstrating how different communities balance medical intervention with human dignity during life's final chapter.

 
The book progressively builds understanding through three main sections: medical systems and palliative care protocols, the evolution and economics of the funeral industry, and diverse cultural approaches to death practices. Drawing from WHO studies, ethnographic research, and medical outcome data, it presents compelling evidence of how various healthcare models approach end-of-life care differently across developed and developing nations.

 
Particularly fascinating is the book's analysis of how traditional burial practices have evolved alongside modern alternatives like green burial, reflecting changing societal values and environmental consciousness. What sets this work apart is its unique interdisciplinary approach, combining medical science with anthropology and cultural studies to provide a holistic view of death care systems.

 
Healthcare professionals, policy makers, and students will find practical frameworks for developing culturally sensitive end-of-life care programs, while gaining deeper insights into how different societies honor their deceased and manage grief. The book maintains an objective stance while tackling controversial topics such as assisted dying legislation and the commercialization of funeral services, making it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in healthcare or death care practices.

    Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating – and sometimes shocking – story of the domestic chicken. 
    The chicken can fly only a few metres but – somehow – this unlikely evolutionary descendant of Tyrannosaurus Rex has conquered the world. Earth is now home to more than twenty billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard charts the chicken's fascinating journey from dinosaur to domestication to exploitation, exploring every aspect of the history of Gallus gallus domesticus: its importance to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as food source and fighting bird; its symbolic roles in religion and folklore and metaphorical function in the language we use; its homely place as egg-providing companion on farms, smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and its darker modern-day fate as battery bird raised to satisfy society's unquenchable addiction to wings and nuggets. Of all animals, chickens perhaps best represent the contradictory way we humans treat other species; both beloved pet and cheap commodity, symbol of a sustainable good life and brutalised object of factory farming. The chicken is also a bird we feel deeply familiar with and yet know very little about. As informative as it is entertaining, Fowl Play tells a remarkable tale of evolutionary change, epic global travel and ruthless exploitation – as well as of companionship, ingenuity and the folly of human nature.

    Longlegs the Blue Heron felt decidedly out of sorts. It was a beautiful morning, too beautiful for any one to be feeling that way. Indeed, it was the same beautiful morning in which Grandfather Frog had caught so many foolish green flies. Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun was smiling his broadest. The Merry Little Breezes of Old Mother West Wind were dancing happily here and there over the Green Meadows, looking for some good turn to do for others. The little feathered people to whom Old Mother Nature has given the great blessing of music in their throats were pouring out their sweetest songs. So it seemed as if there was no good reason why Longlegs should feel out of sorts. The fact is the trouble with Longlegs was an empty stomach. Yes, Sir, that is what ailed Longlegs the Blue Heron that sunshiny morning. You know it is hard work to be hungry and happy at the same time. (Summary by Thornton W. Burgess in Chapter 2)
