Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over My Dead Body is a lively tour through the history of US cemeteries that explores how, where, and why we bury our dead from journalist Greg Melville.'Astonishing. . . fascinating . . . powerful. . .This clever, sensitive book gives us a new way to think about death, not as the final chapter, but as a window onto life in America.' -New York Times Book ReviewThe summer before his senior year in college, Greg Melville worked at the cemetery in his hometown, and thanks to hour upon hour of pushing a mower over the grassy acres, he came to realize what a rich story the place told of his town and its history. Thus was born Melville's lifelong curiosity with how, where, and why we bury and commemorate our dead.Melville's Over My Dead Body is a lively and wide-ranging history of cemeteries, places that have mirrored the passing eras in history but have also shaped it. Cemeteries have given birth to landscape architecture and famous parks, as well as influenced architectural styles. They've inspired and motivated some of our greatest poets and authors-Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson. They've been used as political tools to shift the country's discourse and as important symbols of the United States' ambition and reach.But they are changing and fading. Embalming and burial is incredibly toxic, and while cremations have just recently surpassed burials in popularity, they're not great for the environment either. Over My Dead Body explores everything-history, sustainability, land use, and more-and what it really means to memorialize.Locales visited in Over My Dead BodyShawsheen Cemetery - Bedford, MassachusettsThe 1607 Burial Ground - Historic Jamestowne, VirginiaBurial Hill - Plymouth, MassachusettsColonial Jewish Burial Ground - Newport, Rhode IslandMonticello's African American Graveyard - Charlottesville, VirginiaMount Auburn Cemetery - Cambridge, MassachusettsGreen-Wood Cemetery - Brooklyn, New YorkLaurel Grove Cemetery - Savannah, GeorgiaSleepy Hollow Cemetery - Concord, MassachusettsCentral Park - New York, New YorkGettysburg National Cemetery - Gettysburg, PennsylvaniaArlington National Cemetery - Arlington, VirginiaWoodlawn Cemetery - Bronx, New YorkBoothill Graveyard - Tombhill, ArizonaForest Lawn Memorial-Park - Glenwood, CaliforniaThe Chapel of the Chimes - Oakland, CaliforniaHollywood Forever Cemetery - Los Angeles, CaliforniaNature's Sanctuary - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.…
