- Summary:
- "Death poses hard questions. This is nowhere more acute than it is for those with the consciousness to value their own existence, such that we mortals tend to take death hard, to the very point of eponymity. A host of protocols for handling an individual's death have emerged over the course of human history. Whether it be the death of a loved one or a beloved leader or celebrity, finally pausing one individual's journey causes others to pause at least momentarily to recognize, grieve, and hopefully celebrate that which was so intertwined with others. Our communities can too be ephemeral, as ghost towns and bands' final tours both evidence, which mean individuals' deaths are more bound up in those of communities than might be immediately apparent..."-- provided by distributor.
