The subject of Cedric Mim’s book is, some say, the one subject that our
times find unmentionable: When We Die. Read all about why death is necessary,
what causes it, what happens to the body afterwards, preservation techniques,
identification of corpses, using them for spare parts and so on. Or, more
likely, pick and choose among the grim contents, which don’t lack humour.
Published by Robinson, £16.99, ISBN 1854875299.
