Richly illustrated - striking and often very powerful images.. In time with the spirit of the age and coming Millenium key scholars in their field write on their respective periods.. With the recent upturn of popular interest in death - through films, TV, books and newspapers - this book will prove stimulating to the general reader; to students of archaeology, art, history, medicine and sociology
