Attempting to demythologize the process of dying， Nuland explores how we shall die， each of us in a way that will be unique. Through particular stories of dying--of patients， and of his own family--he examines the seven most common roads to death： old age， cancer， AIDS， Alzheimer's， accidents， heart disease， and strokes， revealing the facets of death's multiplicity. "It's impossible to read How We Die without realizing how earnestly we have avoided this most unavoidable of subjects， how we have protected ourselves by building a cultural wall of myths and lies. I don't know of any writer or scientist who has shown us the face of death as clearly， honestly and compassionately as Sherwin Nuland does here."--James Gleick Sherwin B. Nuland, MD, was Clinical Professor of Surgery at Yale University until his retirement in 2009, though he continues to teach Biomedical Ethics and Medical History to Yale undergraduates, and serve the university in various capacities. He won the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Book Critics Circle Award when this book was initially published. In hardcover and paperback, How We Die was on the New York Times bestseller list for a total of thirty-four weeks, and has been translated into twenty-nine languages. Dr. Nuland and his family live in Connecticut.,,
