Abstract

This book draws together a range of both classic and newly commissioned pieces on the multidisciplinary study of death and dying.

This contribution – drawing on an ethnographic study of dying and death in care homes for older people – considers how the period of dying is defined and the impact of this diagnosis on end-of-life care.
