This unique book is a study of northern New England and its culture''s views of death. The author, James Hill Parker, pieces together conversations, funerals and other evidence of a latent Book of the Dead. He also makes comparisons with the Mayan and various books of the dead.

This book shows how the biological baseline can be used for research into social, cultural and other forms of organization.

Not the usual star-bio by a long shot--with only intermittent appeal for the legion of Hayworth fans.
