Synopsis
Attempting to demythologize the process of dying, Nuland explores how we shall die, each of us in a way that will be unique. Through particular stories of dying--of patients, and of his own family--he examines the seven most common roads to death: old age, cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, accidents, heart disease, and strokes, revealing the facets of death's multiplicity. "It's impossible to read How We Die without realizing how earnestly we have avoided this most unavoidable of subjects, how we have protected ourselves by building a cultural wall of myths and lies. I don't know of any writer or scientist who has shown us the face of death as clearly, honestly and compassionately as Sherwin Nuland does here."--James Gleick From the Trade Paperback edition.

    thought provoking

    an excellent explanation of how medicine can keep us alive well past the time when we should prepare to leave this earth.

    Brutally honest.

    This is a brutally honest look at reality. Even though many strides have been made since it was written, the biology and anatomy of the processes of death are the same.
