Title: Death: Its Causes and Phenomena
Author: Hereward Carrington
Publisher: Kessinger Publishing, LLC
Abstract: Found in this work are the causes and phenomena associated with death,
with special reference to immortality. Death is generally looked upon
as something to be tabooed by polite society, something unpleasant,
which may someday come upon us, but which we desire to think about as
little as possible in the interval. The authors believe that death
assumes the appearance of a most interesting scientific problem, both
from its physiological and its psychological sides, once superstition
is removed. They refer to the possibility of postponing death, on one
hand, and of rendering it more painless, on the other.
