Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - For the past twenty years, Scottish death culture has emerged as a focus of scholars drawn from a wide variety of disciplines. Death comes to us all but too often we treat it as a private or personal matter. The former taboo about death is slowly lifting and contemporary research is playing an increasing part. Accordingly, the fifteen essays gathered in this book probe the multi-facetted role of death in Scottish history and culture. They explore personal fears of death, anxieties about Predestination, prayers for the dead and the appeal of Spiritualism. They analyse the public face of death in law, economics and medicine: changes in capital punishment, funeral poverty, the teaching of anatomy and prevention of stillbirths. Within the worlds of religion and ritual, they consider the making of saints, burial practice following the Scottish Reformation and the tradition of keening within the Gáidhealtachd. With an Introduction by Professor Jane Dawson, these essays by specialists in the field not only highlight the richness of the primary sources for studying death in Scotland but reveal how death studies identify key features of Scottish life and society across ten centuries.…

Paperback. Zustand: As New. 519 pages. Cremation was rediscovered in the late nineteenth century, popularised in the twentieth, and now many of us are cremated after death.

The 251 crematoria in Britain have to suit both the practical and emotional needs of the religious and non-religious, Chris tians and those of other faiths. Yet until now they have not had the attention t heir importance and interest deserve. This book examines the special historical, social and cultural conditions that lie behind them. The buildings - some by le ading architects - often display real architectural merit, and many are set in g ardens representing the very finest traditions of twentieth-century landscape de sign. An illustrated gazetteer provides comprehensive information about each one .…
