Beyond the Bodypresents a new and sophisticated approach to death, dying and bereavement, and the sociology of the body. The authors challenge existing theories that put the body at the center of identity. They go "beyond the body" to highlight the persistence of self-identity even when the body itself has been disposed of or is missing.
