For the past twenty years, Scottish death culture has emerged as a focus of scholars drawn from a wide variety of disciplines. Death comes to us all but too often we treat it as a private or personal matter. The former taboo about death is slowly lifting and contemporary research is playing an increasing part. Accordingly, the fifteen essays gathered in this book probe the multi-facetted role of death in Scottish history and culture. They explore personal fears of death, anxieties about Predestination, prayers for the dead and the appeal of Spiritualism. They analyse the public face of death in law, economics and medicine: changes in capital punishment, funeral poverty, the teaching of anatomy and prevention of stillbirths. Within the worlds of religion and ritual, they consider the making of saints, burial practice following the Scottish Reformation and the tradition of keening within the G?idhealtachd. With an Introduction by Professor Jane Dawson, these essays by specialists in the field not only highlight the richness of the primary sources for studying death in Scotland but reveal how death studies identify key features of Scottish life and society across ten centuries.

Описание: Charlie Grainger has lived through eight decades of positive change in his favorite place---the American South. Born on an unpaved Alabama country road during the Great Depression, he nearly died twice during infancy, nearly drowned as a teenager, then escaped death as a young man while flying on a small plane. Through multiple near death experiences, he says that God was always in his corner. As a young man, the Summer of 1955 was filled with magic. He worked as a newspaperman and as a public relations professional. He witnessed an angry mob that beat up black Freedom Riders at the Montgomery Bus Depot. He was saved by a State Public safety director. Others were not so lucky. View America through the eyes of a country boy who grew up to become a successful business executive, state legislator, and Washington lobbyist. It will give you a greater appreciation of how far we have come as a nation.
