A number of people, some of them eminent and well-known, some of them ordinary men and women, talk about death and what it means to them. Here we have: Jonathan Miller talking expansively on the metaphors in which he has conceived of it since childhood and how they have influenced his theatre work - Roy Porter on the history of people's attitudes to it - Oxford philosopher Galen Stawson on how he overcame his terror of it despite lacking still any religious faith - and a London fireman on what it is like to face and see death every day of the week - and so on. A collection, edited by Rosemary Dinnage, who previously wrote a book of interviews about psychotherapy, "One to One".
