About this book
"Paul Arimond kommt 2003 als Sanitäter der Bundeswehr nach Afghanistan, in ein Land, das schon sein Vorfahr Ambrosius einst, auf der Suche nach der Universalsprache der Vögel, wegen seiner reichen Tierwelt bereist hatte. Auch Paul, geplagt von Schuldgefühlen nach einem Autounfall, den er mit verursacht hat, liebt es, Vögel zu beobachten und Aufzeichnungen über sie zu machen. Sie scheinen nach einer anderen Ordnung und mit anderen Freiheiten zu leben. Inmitten einer zunehmend gefährlichen Bedrohungslage beginnt Paul immer unberechenbarer und anarchischer zu handeln."--Jacket flap.

Transforming the culture of dying
David Clark
Over almost 10 years, the work of the Project on Death in America (PDIA) played a formative role in the advancement of end-of-life care in the US. The project concerned itself with adults and children, and with interests crossing boundaries between the clinical disciplines, the social sciences, arts, and humanities. PDIA engaged with the problems of resources in poor communities and marginalized groups and settings, and it attempted to foster collaboration across a range of sectors and organisations. This book examines the broad, ambitious conception of PDIA and assesses PDIA's contribution to the development of the palliative care field and to wider debates about end-of-life care within American society.
