Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject is well and carefully written by one thoroughly conversant with it from all sides. It is well worth the time spent in its perusal by the laity as well as the profession, and is commended for its style, simplicity, and forcefulness of diction. -The Journal of Advanced Therapeutics, Volume 21 [1903] This volume is a strong presentation of "the history of earth-burial with its attendant evils, and the advantages offered by cremation." It is a thorough and on the whole dispassionate review of the subject, with a long list of approving quotations from eminent persons going to show how far and how rapidly the common prejudice against cremation has disappeared. -Book News, Volume 10 [1892]

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earth-Burial and Cremation: The History of Earth-Burial With Its Attendant, Evils, and the Advantages Offered by Cremation "We believe that the horrid practice of earth-burial does more to propagate the germs of disease and death, and to spread desolation and pestilence over the human race, than do all man's ingenuity and ignorance in every other custom or habit." From the report made to the American Medical Association, when in session in St. Louis on May 6th, 1886, by a special committee of physicians appointed the preceding year to consider the necessity for cremation. "In the same sense in which the 'Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath, ' I hold that the earth was made not for the dead, but for the living. "No intelligent faith can suppose that any Christian doctrine is affected by the manner in which, or the time in which, this mortal body of ours crumbles into dust and sees corruption... Cemeteries are becoming not only a difficulty, an expense, and an inconvenience, but an actual danger." From an address by the late Bishop of Manchester, at the opening of the Social Science Congress at Manchester, England, October 1st, 1879.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meaning of our concern for mortal remains—from antiquity through the twentieth century The Greek philosopher Diogenes said that when he died his body should be tossed over the city walls for beasts to scavenge. Why should he or anyone else care what became of his corpse? In The Work of the Dead, acclaimed cultural historian Thomas Laqueur examines why humanity has universally rejected Diogenes's argument. No culture has been indifferent to mortal remains. Even in our supposedly disenchanted scientific age, the dead body still matters—for individuals, communities, and nations. A remarkably ambitious history, The Work of the Dead offers a compelling and richly detailed account of how and why the living have cared for the dead, from antiquity to the twentieth century. The book draws on a vast range of sources—from mortuary archaeology, medical tracts, letters, songs, poems, and novels to painting and landscapes in order to recover the work that the dead do for the living: making human communities that connect the past and the future. Laqueur shows how the churchyard became the dominant resting place of the dead during the Middle Ages and why the cemetery largely supplanted it during the modern period. He traces how and why since the nineteenth century we have come to gather the names of the dead on great lists and memorials and why being buried without a name has become so disturbing. And finally, he tells how modern cremation, begun as a fantasy of stripping death of its history, ultimately failed—and how even the ashes of the victims of the Holocaust have been preserved in culture. A fascinating chronicle of how we shape the dead and are in turn shaped by them, this is a landmark work of cultural history.

Download or read book Fear written by Joanna Bourke and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2007-04-09 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear — the word, itself, conjures the appropriate response. With a dark cacophony of associations like fright, dread, horror, panic, alarm, anxiety, and terror, fear is universally understood as one of the most basic and powerful of human emotions, obtaining a nearly palpable and overwhelming substance in today's world. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed historian and prize–winning author Joanna Bourke covers the landscape of fear over the past two hundred years: From the nineteenth century dread of being buried alive — a subject dear to the heart of Edgar Allen Poe — to the current worry over being able to die when one chooses; from the diagnoses of phobias and anxieties produced by psychotherapists and lovingly catalogued, to the role of popular culture and media in inciting panic and dread; from the horrors of the nuclear age to the fear of twenty–first century terrorism, Fear tells the story of anguish in modern times. A blend of social and cultural history with psychology, philosophy, and popular science, this astonishing book — exhaustively researched and beautifully written — offers strikingly original insights into the mind and worldview of the "long twentieth century" from one of the most brilliant scholars of our time.
