Like most books, you have to wait for the appropriate time to read this.

It is a magnificent book and highly recommended for those ready for it. ( )

Scientific and precise but not coldly clinical or macabre. A thoughtful look at the end of life. ( )

I clicked on the 'save' button and my review disappeared. NOT HAPPY. Grrrr. ( )

A phenomenal achievement - one that asks the medical profession to stop denying the reality of dying and to incorporate it into their practice. There is enough here to go around, including factoids explaining why no one has died of natural causes since 1945, and that death is caused by one thing - a lack of oxygen to a vital organ.

This book led me to evaluate my relationship with my health care provider. Was a simply a bag of symptoms when I saw him? Or was this someone who focused on the whole of me? With the wisdom gained from Dr. Nuland's book, I switched to a nurse practitioner at what - in hindsight - turned out to be a highly opportune time. ( )

National Book Award. Dr. Nuland takes us through the physiology of death; cardian failure, ateriosclrosis, Alzheimers and other dementias, murder, suicide, AIDS, cancer, yet also Hope, Love, and Spirituality. Very good, and though a bit clinical, very readable. Indexed.

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679742441, Paperback)

Attempting to demythologize the process of dying, Nuland explores how we shall die, each of us in a way that will be unique. Through particular stories of dying--of patients, and of his own family--he examines the seven most common roads to death: old age, cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, accidents, heart disease, and strokes, revealing the facets of death's multiplicity.

"It's impossible to read How We Die without realizing how earnestly we have avoided this most unavoidable of subjects, how we have protected ourselves by building a cultural wall of myths and lies. I don't know of any writer or scientist who has shown us the face of death as clearly, honestly and compassionately as Sherwin Nuland does here."--James Gleick
