As a practising mortician, Caitlin Doughty has long been fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies. In From Here to Eternity, she sets out in search of cultures unburdened by such fears.
In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. She meets Bolivian ñatitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to the Japanese ritual of kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones' bones from cremation ashes.
With curiosity and morbid humour, Doughty introduces us to inspiring death-care innovators, participates in powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in the West and explores new spaces for mourning - including a futuristic glowing-Buddha columbarium in Japan, a candlelit Mexican cemetery and America's only open-air pyre. In doing so she expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity and reveals unexpected possibilities for our own death rituals.

Geschichte
Caitlin Doughty ist Amerikas berühmteste Bestatterin. In ihrem Bestseller befreit sie den Tod von etlichen Tabus - und den Hörer von der Scheu, sich mit ihm zu beschäftigen. Den Vorhang zwischen hier und dort zu lüften kann nämlich ungemein befreiend wirken, vorausgesetzt, man hört einer mutigen Erzählerin zu, die die letzten Dinge so ausspricht, wie sie eben sind. Schon mit Anfang 20 weiß Caitlin, dass Tote ihre Berufung sind und sie beginnt nach ihrem Studium bei einem Krematorium zu arbeiten.

Geschichte
It's fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn't spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the internet, the paparazzi, and the government - and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are a hoax and wants nothing to do with him.

In February 2014, Reni Eddo-Lodge posted an impassioned argument on her blog about her deep-seated frustration with the way discussions of race and racism in Britain were constantly being shut down by those who weren't affected by it. She gave the post the title 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race'. Her sharp, fiercely intelligent words hit a nerve, and the post went viral, spawning a huge number of comments from people desperate to speak up about their own similar experiences.

By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister - the lovely and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate ruse to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a sham.

Grausig sind die Anfänge der Medizin: Leichenraub, blutige Operationen wie Kirmesspektakel, Arsen, Quecksilber, Heroin als verschriebene Heilmittel. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ist das Unwissen der Ärzte sagenhaft, wie sie praktizieren, ein einziger Albtraum. Bis ein junger Student aus London mit seinen Entdeckungen alles verändert... Lindsey Fitzharris erzählt vom Leben dieses Mannes und vom Horror, den ein einfacher Arztbesuch damals bedeutete - schaurig, unterhaltsam, erhellend.

This collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death.

An incredible adventure is about to begin!

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

We know what life was like for Victoria and Albert. But what was it like for a commoner like you or me? How did it feel to cook with coal and wash with tea leaves? Drink beer for breakfast and clean your teeth with cuttlefish? Dress in whalebone and feed opium to the baby? Surviving everyday life came down to the gritty details, the small necessities and tricks of living. Drawing on Ruth's unique firsthand experience gained from living on a Victorian farm for a year, this book will teach you everything you need to know about 19th-century living.

It helped me a lot - Informative, respectful, beautiful
Caitlin takes you with her around the world and let’s you experience the different kinds of death and traditions in a respectful and informative manner.
She opens your eyes to new possibilities for grief and healing in a beautiful way, and shows what a good death could be.
Highly recommended for everyone, but especially those who have problems dealing with grief, death, corpses, and other morbid subjects that should not be considered morbid or taboo.

Interesting and thoughtful
Interesting Storys about different cultures and their relationship to their death. Well researched and entertainingly presented.
The Autor who narrates her book does a very good job. There's only one negative: she tries to get us to understand death practices, who might seem alienating and disturbing to us, asking us to rethink our own relationship to death and what is wrong with the "western way" of funeral homes. I wish she had allowed her audience to come to their own conclusions instead of spelling it out and being yet another person telling others what's right and wrong.
