The Last Dance: Encountering Death and Dying

Heavily highlighted front cover is ripped but it is still readable.

This book was cheap but really broken down, to the point I was scared putting it in my backpack with other stuff in it.

I was required to rent this textbook for my Sociology of Death and Dying class at Ohio State (this class is highly recommended; I enjoy it so much and learn a lot) and it provides me with much information. This book covers topics like cultural attitudes about death, socialization about death, end of life decisions, funerals and body disposition,suicides and homicides, and much more. The text is balanced out by plenty of pictures and diagrams and quotes. My specific rental came in great condition: no marks, writing or highlighting. This book isn't bulky or heavy; it's easy to carry along with you in a backpack or purse.

This item had a delivery window of June 2 - 8 and it came on June 1st! Very good condition as stated. Thank you!

Old and worn but it does the job!

I actually had the opportunity to take this class with the author being my professor. It just so happens she is retiring this semester as well. I absolutely love this book and the way she teaches it. Lynne and her husband(Albert) have opened up my eyes on the world of death and dying and the cultural differences around it. I think that anyone who reads the book with an open-mind will come out of it with a different perspective on life. This comes from a 23 y.o. girl who lost her mother when she was 19.

Used for a rental and novel was in great condition!

This book, like many other textbooks, was long and packed full of information. I don't know about you, but being forced to read chapter after chapter in x-amount of short days is stressful. While I certainly don't remember everything I read, I did leave my course with greater knowledge on the subject. I grew a little more because of this book.

What is better then $250+ required course reading?Literally anything.

Arrived fast and intact. Would buy again.

Perfect! Best price out there.
