Publisher's Summary
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The definitive resource on perhaps the single most universal human concern: death.
Even more relevant than when it was first published, this edition addresses contemporary issues in end-of-life care and includes an all-embracing and incisive afterword that examines the state of health care and our relationship with life as it approaches its terminus. How We Die also discusses how we can take control of our own final days and those of our loved ones.
"Nuland's work acknowledges, with unmatched clarity, the harsh realities of how life departs… There is compassion, and often wisdom, in every page." —San Francisco Examiner

Out of date...
Ok....this book is nearly 30 years old, and the medical treatments and attitudes of practioners are now much advanced. Particularly how we now accept death in a much more realistic manner. So, the book is really a recounting of the author’s experiences rather than an explanation of how the body actually succumbs.

Not the complete original book.
I have this book in paperback and it's not the complete book. Original much more in depth and scientific about the process of each disease, such as cancer or heart disease, and how each cascades to harm the other organs in the body until death occurs. I was way too generous in how many stars I gave becase he does a good job reading this version of the book.
