Forget manuals for cars and computers, death is the big event you really need to be clued-up for and there's just no excuse for slacking. Death - A User's Guide, is a one-stop shop about death and beyond - an irreverent encyclopedia of the more bizarre aspects of the subject: the history of death; the physiology of death; death in literature and art; suicide; superstitions; near death experiences; the language of death; the rituals of death; secrets of the undertaker; the afterlife; reincarnation; famous last words; bizarre burials; grave robbing; amusing epitaphs; strange ways to die; and enough curious facts and figures to bury a man. Did you know... - An Australian woman has had her husband's ashes sewn in to her breast implants so she can keep them close to her heart. - Ben Jonson after begging Charles I for a square foot of ground in Poets' Corner was taken at his word and buried standing up. - 60s guru Timothy Leary chose to have his death broadcast live on the internet. - While Jews traditionally abstain from sex during mourning, the African Nyakyusa tribe practice ritual copulation at the grave side.
