Download or read book Australian Ways of Death written by Patricia Jalland and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pat Jalland, one of Australia's most successful historians, has now turned her attention to Australian subjects. This book is the result of intensive research into where and how people have died in Australia, how they have been buried, mourned and commemmorated, and how social andregional factors have influenced mortality rates and people's consciousness of death and loss.
