Book From the Courtyard to Eternity by كيتلين دوتي

Product description

Since humankind first set foot on Earth and faced what no other creature has faced—the realization that one day it too would become a lifeless corpse—it has strived to find the best way to handle the bodies of those it will one day become. In this book, undertaker and crematorium worker Caitlin Doughty travels the world, recounting the latest and earliest human practices in dealing with the dead, and describing the diverse motivations behind human interaction with corpses, ranging from mere veneration to communication with the deceased and integration into the ecosystem to which we belong. This book is a unique blend of fascinating travelogues, disheartening biographies, chilling anecdotes, unique insights, and cognitive shock therapy for anyone accustomed to a single approach to handling the dead and a commitment to avoiding death, the dead, and talking about them. In this book you will learn how some scientists devised a method of burial, the difficulties of traditional cremation, how Tibetans bury their dead in the sky, and why the vultures refused to eat the corpses of Zoroaster's followers in the Tower of Silence. Oh, and did you know that zombies really exist? Dottie is a trusted guide to the disgusting and bizarre world of death. You won't stop laughing with her.
