Descripción: Taylor & Francis «The stimulus for Mortality grew out of an awareness of the wide range and depth of new research being undertaken around human mortality and the end of life. Whilst some disciplines have been long concerned with questions of life and death, this growth of interest can be observed in many areas: in an expanding academic literature on dying, death and bereavement; in popular media commentaries; in the variety of reform groups created to improve the social rituals surrounding mortality; in the hospice movement and the increasing concern with palliative care; and in the growth of counselling and organisations dedicated to addressing the needs of bereaved people.» ISSN 1469-9885
