Book Synopsis Bonds of the Dead by : Mark Michael Rowe
Download or read book Bonds of the Dead written by Mark Michael Rowe and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite popular images of priests seeking enlightenment in snow-covered mountain temples, the central concern of Japanese Buddhism is death. For that reason, Japanese Buddhism’s social and economic base has long been in mortuary services—a base now threatened by public debate over the status, treatment, and location of the dead. Bonds of the Dead explores the crisis brought on by this debate and investigates what changing burial forms reveal about the ways temple Buddhism is perceived and propagated in contemporary Japan. Mark Rowe offers a crucial account of how religious, political, social, and economic forces in the twentieth century led to the emergence of new funerary practices in Japan and how, as a result, the care of the dead has become the most fundamental challenge to the continued existence of Japanese temple Buddhism. Far from marking the death of Buddhism in Japan, Rowe argues, funerary Buddhism reveals the tradition at its most vibrant. Combining ethnographic research with doctrinal considerations, this is a fascinating book for anyone interested in Japanese society and religion.
Download or read book Continuing Bonds written by Dennis Klass and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996. This new book gives voice to an emerging consensus among bereavement scholars that our understanding of the grief process needs to be expanded. The dominant 20th century model holds that the function of grief and mourning is to cut bonds with the deceased, thereby freeing the survivor to reinvest in new relationships in the present. Pathological grief has been defined in terms of holding on to the deceased. Close examination reveals that this model is based more on the cultural values of modernity than on any substantial data of what people actually do. Presenting data from several populations, 22 authors - among the most respected in their fields - demonstrate that the health resolution of grief enables one to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased. Despite cultural disapproval and lack of validation by professionals, survivors find places for the dead in their on-going lives and even in their communities. Such bonds are not denial: the deceased can provide resources for enriched functioning in the present. Chapters examine widows and widowers, bereaved children, parents and siblings, and a population previously excluded from bereavement research: adoptees and their birth parents. Bereavement in Japanese culture is also discussed, as are meanings and implications of this new model of grief. Opening new areas of research and scholarly dialogue, this work provides the basis for significant developments in clinical practice in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the continuing bonds model of grief near the end of the 20th century revolutionized the way researchers and practitioners understand bereavement. Continuing Bonds in Bereavement is the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art collection of developments in this field since the inception of the model. As a multi-perspectival, nuanced, and forward-looking anthology, it combines innovations in clinical practice with theoretical and empirical advancements. The text traces grief in different cultural settings, asking questions about the truth in our interactions with the dead and showing how new cultural developments like social media change the ways we relate to those who have died. Together, the book’s four sections encourage practitioners and scholars in both bereavement studies and in other fields to broaden their understanding of the concept of continuing bonds.

Book Synopsis Forever and a Death by : Donald E. Westlake
Download or read book Forever and a Death written by Donald E. Westlake and published by Titan Books (US, CA). This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bond That Never Was Two decades ago, the producers of the James Bond movies hired legendary crime novelist Donald E. Westlake to come up with a story for the next Bond film. The plot Westlake dreamed up – about a Western businessman seeking revenge after being kicked out of Hong Kong when the island was returned to Chinese rule – had all the elements of a classic Bond adventure, but political concerns kept it from being made. Never one to let a good story go to waste, Westlake wrote an original novel based on the premise instead – a novel he never published while he was alive. Now, nearly a decade after Westlake’s death, Hard Case Crime is proud to give that novel its first publication ever, together with a brand new afterword by one of the movie producers describing the project’s genesis, and to give fans their first taste of the Westlake-scripted Bond that might have been.

Book Synopsis Bereavement Narratives by : Christine Valentine
Download or read book Bereavement Narratives written by Christine Valentine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-07-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bereavement is often treated as a psychological condition of the individual with both healthy and pathological forms. However, this empirically-grounded study argues that this is not always the best or only way to help the bereaved. In a radical departure, it emphasises normality and social and cultural diversity in grieving. Exploring the significance of the dying person’s final moments for those who are left behind, this book sheds new light on the variety of ways in which bereaved people maintain their relationship with dead loved ones and how the dead retain a significant social presence in the lives of the living. It draws practical conclusions for professionals in relation to the complex and social nature of grief and the value placed on the right to grieve in one’s own way – supporting and encouraging the bereaved person to articulate their own experience and find their own methods of coping. Based on new empirical research, Bereavement Narratives is an innovative and invaluable read for all students and researchers of death, dying and bereavement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking examination of death, dying, and the afterlife Prominent scholars present their most recent work about mortuary rituals, grief and mourning, genocide, cyclical processes of life and death, biomedical developments, and the materiality of human corpses in this unique and illuminating book.

Book excerpt: "Sequel to Art of Death" Fresh out of a messy breakup, starving artist Riley Burke has found happiness with Westwood, his new undead lover-enough happiness that when his friend Porter warns him that the undead only see humans as flashy playthings, Riley looks the other way. After all, he only wants a bit of fun. It's not like he's asking Westwood to put a ring on his finger. Once a brutal and violent criminal, Westwood now atones for his past by punishing the undead for crimes against humans. But his job doesn't make him popular with his undead brethren-and someone has a thirst for revenge. That someone has uncovered Westwood's weakness and is on the hunt. To withstand an attack, Westwood must bolster his strength by taking on a human worshipper. He turns to Riley, but Riley is terrified of the bond Westwood's ritual will create. He would rather risk his life pursuing Westwood's attacker than risk opening his soul to a man who doesn't respect him. But time is running out, and if Riley and Westwood can't come together, one of them might pay the ultimate price.

Download or read book The Day Before written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Day Before is the true love story between longtime friends, Sheila and Sam, who's friendship turned into something more. But it was a brief, short-lived happiness, as Sam tragically and unexpectedly died the very next day. Sheila found herself consumed by unbearable grief as she tried to make sense of Sam's sudden passing. Shortly after his death, Sheila began to receive messages known as After Death Communication (ADCs) from Sam. Did Sheila and Sam's relationship start the day before he passed, or had they known each other from another lifetime? Was their connection an eternal bond that transcended the boundaries of life and death? In her grief, Sheila began looking for answers to these questions. Her thirst for knowledge about the afterlife and the man who'd come in and out of her life like a whirlwind became her obsession. The Day Before takes you on Sheila's personal journey of heartbreak and her subsequent self-enlightenment; searching for answers she desperately needed. Sheila learned that love is truly eternal and knows no boundaries. That even after death, our loved ones can reach across the veil and continue to communicate and express their love to us. As she started unraveling the questions that took over her life, she was filled with gratitude and love; knowing that her brief time spent with Sam was not the end. That their connection was forever and extends beyond the boundaries of space and time. This is a story for anyone who has ever experienced the loss of a loved one. For anyone who has ever wondered what happens to those special people after their death. The Day Before seeks to illustrate how a person's physical departure is not the end, but the return to their true essence. Just because we cannot see them does not mean they are not there. It is an affirmation that our loved ones continue to love and guide us until it is our turn to journey home.

Book excerpt: A serial killer terrorizes a small California town in this gripping thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag. California, 1985—Four children and young teacher Anne Navarre make a gruesome discovery: a partially buried female body, her eyes and mouth glued shut. A serial killer is at large, and the very bonds that hold their idyllic town together are about to be tested to the breaking point. Tasked with finding the killer, FBI investigator Vince Leone employs a new and controversial FBI technique called “profiling,” which plunges him into the lives of the four children—and the young teacher whose need to uncover the truth is as intense as his own. But as new victims are found and pressure from the media grows, Vince and Anne find themselves circling the same small group of local suspects, unsure if those who suffer most are the victims themselves—or those close to the killer, blissfully unaware that someone very near to them is a murderous psychopath…
