Death: An Inquiry Into Man's Mortal Weakness

1998
The three categories dealt with are the causes of death, coping with death, and the afterlife. This web site is very interesting because each category is broken down into the social sciences, philosophy, science, and art and literature. Interviews with those who deal with death on a daily basis offer an unusual look at this subject. Even though the topic of death can be a "downer," this is an excellent and uplifting web site.
