A compassionate, well-rounded, and informative look into the many faces of death. Dr Shepherd has a way of marrying science and emotion by making the former prosaic and the latter exacting. This book will take you through life's many stages and ways to end - neglect, murder, natural causes, addiction, dependence, passion, suicide - performing a delicate dance between autopsies, epidemiology, and the psychological drivers of human nature.
