This book is basically just a list of names. It is extremely difficult to stay engaged in a book that just lists name after name, study after study, without going into more than a few words or a sentence (if you're lucky) on the actual CONCEPTS that these names were exploring. One name per paragraph would be completely understandable, but the book appears to be just one, long list of names. The information in this book is presented as if you just googled "List of influential people in death education, and scrolled for pages and pages and pages."
