{"product_id":"grief-mourning-and-death-ritual-9780335205011","title":"Grief, Mourning and Death Ritual","description":"This book focuses on what happens after a death has taken place. Drawing on social theory and anthropology, contributors examine responses to death as they occur within the unique set of cultural, social and historical circumstances which characterizes post-war society. The book does not just document and make sense of contemporary practices but also critically reviews the ways grief, mourning and death ritual have been approached by academics and practitioners in the field. It does this by combining substantial reviews with shorter illustrative examples of grief, mourning and death ritual as they are manifest in specific settings and with defined groups. These illustrative examples include personal and institutional responses to death at different points in the life cycle, and responses to different sorts of death - the death of children and death in disasters for example. The examples include commentaries on bereavement work and on changes in both the funeral industry and memorialization practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Small, Jeanne Katz, Jennifer Lorna Hockey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.04w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780335205011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 129\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40779809194099,"sku":"9.78034E+12","price":65.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_fdf1aefa-0e99-4802-b88e-ee83efe40999.jpg?v=1680614969","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/grief-mourning-and-death-ritual-9780335205011","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
