Making Sense of Death, Dying and Bereavement

An interesting book which looks at understandings made in relation to death. -- Alison Brown * drupal *
The contents of this book are not that different from texts already being used on the course -- Dr Brian Nyatanga * drupal *
This is a useful resource for students presenting difficult issues in alternative formats. It give senior students food for thought. -- Dr Diane Willis * drupal *
Good user friendly book -- Heulwen Morgan-Samuel * drupal *
This is necessary book which supplements and complements Death and Dying: a reader, and contains a huge Anthology of personal experiential narrative on this sensitive subject. -- Mr Nick Purkis * drupal *
This is a facinating book that explores all aspects of death and the dying person. It is well thought out and will prove to be very helpful particularly to the student nurse or care worker in a Hospice setting. The subject matter is always difficult to present however, I feel confident that the Nurse Tutor will find this a very useful resource as there are many and varied examples and illustrations to use.
Quite a remarkable textbook. -- Mr PETER WALSHAM * drupal *
This textbook will allow wider reading around the subject for the module Dimensions of Loss. Some really interesting aspects included. Particularly like the use of the Arts to explore the topic. Highly current, relevant content for the module within the BSc. -- Mrs Pauline Williams * drupal *
Although an interesting anthology which covers a broad spectrum of aspects of death, dying and bereavement, it does not appear suitable for postgraduate students. I think it would be a good basic introductory text to early learners, but it does not carry sufficient scholarly weight for level seven candidates. -- Mrs Valerie Sanders * drupal *
This is provides fanatsic and diverse accounts of the emotions involved through the dying process. It considers a electic mix of death experiences and the social issues involved both personal and public. -- Ms Anna Davenport * drupal *
very informative and well written book, gives a variety of representations of death, dying and bereavement in different perspectives covering fiction, poety, the media etc. easy read and useful for studfent nurses to explore this issue -- Ms Carol-anne Westwell * drupal *
This anthology gives first hand experiences of death and dying. Some are poignant, some funny but all are thought-provoking -- Ms Julie Burton * drupal *
Whilst the concept of the book is a good one, a lack of cohesion an coordinating dialogue limited its depth and usefulness. -- Ms Sian Clifton * drupal *
