A comprehensive look at one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: what is death and what happens to us after we are dead? In the process, the volume presents the arguments for and against life after death, and discusses the afterlife as it is envisioned in countries around the world and across the ages, from Mexico's Day of the Dead to Victorian funeral customs; from the tombs of the pharaohs to cryogenics; and from the Tibetan Book of the Dead to the visions of heaven and hell found in the Bible.
