Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Enchantment: Ashes, Diamonds and the
Book SynopsisThe culture of burial and mourning is presently in a state of flux. The idea of using the cremated remains of loved ones to form jewelry no longer belongs to the realm of science fiction but has become a fact of modern life. Today, many countries are open to allowing the ashes of the dead to be turned into ornamental objects. Technically, this produces remembrance artifacts representing the dead. The new aspect is that the mortal remains continue to exist after death in the form of such an artifact, for which previous burial culture has no precedent. How do such "ash diamonds" figure into the mourning process? How do relatives deal with this phenomenon? What is the role of esthetics? How does the social environment react to this "metamorphosis"? And does this represent the renewal of the idea of relics? This book is based on interviews held with persons who decided to go this route of remembering their deceased loved ones. The authors also visited the production facilities of these precious stones, talked with experts about the process, and attended the delivery rituals. In addition to practical, theological, and sociological assessments, the volume includes case studies that provide a forum for those concerned to voice their opinions.

Peter Lang AG Schieds- und Mediationsklauseln in Verfuegungen
Book SynopsisKonflikte im Zusammenhang mit dem Themenkomplex Erben und Vererben sind unumgänglich und Alltag in der Praxis des erbrechtlich tätigen Anwalts. Für Erblasser kann sich nun die Frage stellen, ob die Aufnahme einer Schieds- oder Mediationsklausel in die geplante Verfügung von Todes wegen die Entstehung von Konflikten vermeiden oder reduzieren kann. Ebenso ist fraglich, ob die Erben oder Vermächtnisnehmer überhaupt verpflichtet werden können ihren erbrechtlichen Streit durch ein Schieds- oder Mediationsverfahren beilegen zu müssen. Bei der Beantwortung dieser Fragen muss zuerst der erbrechtliche Konflikt näher betrachtet werden und anschließend versucht werden, die Schieds- und Mediationsklausel rechtsdogmatisch einzuordnen. Nur so ist es möglich, diese im System des Erbrechts zu platzieren und die Fragen nach der Rechtswirksamkeit einer letztwilligen Schieds- oder Mediationsklausel zu beantworten.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo Approaches to Death and Dying – Bioethical and
Book SynopsisThe book Approaches to Death and Dying: Bioethical and Cultural Perspectives, edited by Marta Szabat and Jan Piasecki, is part of a still too narrow catalogue of works devoted to end-of-life themes. The volume consists of eleven articles arranged in four parts corresponding to a broad range of issues: law, ethics, philosophy, and cultural studies. The arrangement of the book is thus constructed around various perspectives upon which any reflection on death and dying must be based. This is perhaps indicative of how difficult it is to adopt an unambiguous attitude towards death–modernity, which introduces a multitude of possible choices and decisions regarding our own bodies, has enhanced individualism but at the same time done away with the order provided by old customs, cultural arrangements, strategies towards the inevitable and the power exerted by that order.

Book SynopsisThis monograph reviews the epidemiological, demographic, and biological basis of population models of human mortality. These investigations were motivated by the desire to better understand the regularities of survival processes among adults -- especially at extreme late ages where empirical data is currently limited. The monograph discusses biological mechanisms, which shape the age-patterns of mortality. The effects of an individual health state, susceptibility to diseases and death, or physical frailty on changes in late age survival are also investigated.

Book SynopsisBook & CD-ROM. International comparisons of mortality aimed at revealing age-specific and time-specific differences in survival between Denmark and nine developed countries have been carried out by estimating surfaces of ratios of death rates in the last decades. To gain deeper insights into this phenomenon comparative analyses of death rates by causes of death for Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Japan have been performed. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM including colour Lexis maps, graphs of trends in death rates by causes of death, animated graphs of common survival indicators and a Lexis program for producing Lexis maps.

Peeters Publishers Dying Death and Bereavement in a British
Book SynopsisThis study is an exploration of the religious beliefs, attitudes, traditions and rituals of a British hindu community, with respect to dying, death and bereavement. The observations of this community are compared with material obtained during three months of fieldwork in India and ethnographic sources. The primary focus of this study is on individual Hindus, seen in the context of their family and community: their beliefs, experiences and perceptions about death, and their reactions to the changes that take place. It also examines the process of adaptation and change in the death rituals and the role of the pandits in maintaining continuity. The first part of this study sets the context, introducing the issues confronting Hindus facing death and bereavement in Britain. It discusses theoretical issues in a multicultural study as well as beliefs about death and life after death. In the second part, Hindu ritual practices around death are explored, using a model of nine stages from preparation for death to the final post-mortem and annual ancestral rituals. The third part explores the social and psychological dimensions of death, grief and mourning, the implications of death in hospital and the professional and bureaucratic issues which affect Hindu deaths in Britain. The social aspects of mourning are discussed, with reference to pollution, the role of the family and community, young people and widows. Finally, the author examines the implications of social changes for British Hindus and for those who are involved with them in the caring professions.

Urim Publications From Mourning to Morning: A Comprehensive Guide
Book SynopsisRabbi Simeon Schreiber, Senior Staff Chaplain at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, translates his many years of experience into a greater understanding of the emotions surrounding death, grieving, mourning, and bereavement in Judaism. From Mourning to Morning presents these principles in a comprehensive format. Focusing on the Shiva, the seven day period of mourning in Judaism, Rabbi Schreiber explains the foundation of visiting a house of mourners, and suggests proper etiquette in conducting a visit. With sensitivity and expertise, Rabbi Schreiber provides unique and practical advise on how to cope with death, mourning, and the related issues that we all will inevitably face.Trade Review"This very accessible volume makes a large and much-needed contribution to the Jewish community. It re-introduces to the modern reader many of the elements of Jewish traditional practice around death and mourning that have proven -- over centuries -- to provide great wisdom, insight and comfort to the bereaved. Today, when people are searching deeply for meaning in their lives and some shiva homes can more resemble cocktail parties than houses of mourning, this very clear "how to" manual for making a shiva call has never been more timely and needed. It is a useful and sensitive book for mourner and comforter, alike. I hope every synagogue office and Rabbi's study everywhere is stocked with multiple copies for distribution to those in need of its guidance." - Jacob Solomon, President and CEO, Greater Miami Jewish Federation"Just as we will all die, so too we will all mourn the death of loved ones. Life prepares us for neither. Rabbi Schreiber's brilliantly insightful guide to mourning is an essential read for every human being who will someday grieve. From Mourning to Morning is an indispensable guided tour through the valley of the shadow of death -- a place we will all visit. Rabbi Schreiber works in that valley every day, helping those in need of practical and spiritual advice -- advice he generously shares in this invaluable book." Alan Dershowitz, author, Abraham: The World's First (But Certainly Not Last) Jewish Lawyer"Rabbi Simeon Schreiber's clearly written guide will greatly help all who find themselves confronted by the imminence of death and its aftermath. It will also significantly benefit those who want to offer support and comfort. Full of thoughtful sensitivity and deep Jewish wisdom, this work by a highly respected and beloved hospital chaplain offers practical guidance and advice gained from decades of experience with these issues." Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, professor, Jewish History and Jewish Thought, Yeshiva University"Rabbi Schreiber's very clear 'how to' manual discusses the need to grieve and mourn, and offers clear guidelines for making a shiva call. It has never been more timely and needed than today, when people are searching for meaning in their lives and some shiva homes resemble cocktail parties rather than houses of mourning. It is a useful and sensitive book for mourner and comforter alike." Jacob Solomon, President and CEO, Greater Miami Jewish Federation"With sensitivity and expertise, Rabbi Schreiber provides unique and practical advise on how to cope with death, mourning, and the related issues that we all will inevitably face." James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review"Simeon Schreiber has written an invaluable modern day guide to the perplexed, all those well-meaning friends and relatives who come to bring a measure of consolation to those suffering the loss of a loved one."
