Springfield, Illinois: Charles C. Thomas, 1974. 250 g; VIII, 156 pages, last two pages blank, photographic illustrated paperback binding. Slight rubbing into the base edge of the binding, previous owner's bookplate on first page. "I have tried to write the book simply and in essay form, with a few pertinent references. The book is really not intended to be a manual of how to go about the process of dying, nor, as mentioned above, is it an attempt to be a scholarly tome, nor even a critique of modern society. It is intended to help individuals in general, families in general, and health care personnel in general, to look at some of the common tribulations of the set as all, and to ask if there is a way of enhancing the sense of dignity and control that all of us need throughout life if we are to feel a comfort and esteem with our individual lives. -- from the introduction.
