Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Near Fine; edge bumps; light wear at tip covers. Gray boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on spine. 212 pp 8vo. Medicine can keep death at bay but death will claim us all and we are less well informed about how to race death and how to understand or articulate the emotional and spiritual needs of the dying.
