Description
A unique and thought-provoking exploration of death itself, How We Die offers a clear and compassionate understanding of the processes that take place in the body as we approach the end of life. Written by Sherwin B Nuland, a surgeon with over thirty years' experience, this book strips away many illusions about death and provides a compelling insight into one of life's most fundamental facts. With a focus on the scientific realities of dying, Nuland explains the complex processes that occur in the body as we approach death. This honest and compassionate exploration is both informative and reassuring, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand this universal human experience. Foreword by Paul Kalanithi adds depth and context to this important work, which has been widely praised for its clarity and empathy.
