Description

Frank Eyetsemitan's Understanding Death and Dying: Encountering Death, Dying, and the Afterlife is a contemporary approach to the death and dying course that asks students to apply each chapter's contents to their own experiences and then to the world around them through current, culturally-relevant examples incorporated throughout the book. The text uses balanced pedagogical tools to deliver relevant multi and cross-cultural applications across course content, helping students digest and assess comprehension in context at point of learning. This engaging, personally relevant framework also helps to maintain student concentration and grow interest. Eyetsemitan's text is written and organized so that students are gently guided through each chapter via a set of overarching Learning Objectives, then introduced to the applications of theory, research, and chapter content. This material can be applied to students' own lives, and the lives and experiences with death that surround them, while introductions to experiences from other, less familiar cultures enrich students' learning and can be applied and extrapolated across own lives and careers.
