The most comforting book about death you'll ever read.

Talking about death won't kill you. Yet in today's world, death remains one of our greatest taboos. As religion declines and rituals fade, we are left without guidance for one of life's only certainties. This book is your handbook for death in the 21st century - a compassionate, practical and surprisingly hopeful guide to understanding mortality.

From cremation to green burials, from grieving a pet to navigating tricky memorial etiquette, anthropologist and death scholar Hannah Gould answers the questions most of us are too afraid to ask:
- Do I really get my loved one's ashes back from the crematorium?
- Can I turn into a tree when I die?
- How do I talk to my parents about end-of-life planning?
- Should I attend my ex's dad's funeral?
- Will I ever stop crying over my dog?

As we enter an era of 'peak death', this book challenges us to stop avoiding the inevitable and instead embrace it as part of a good life. Honest, witty and deeply reassuring, Gould invites readers to confront mortality not with fear, but with curiosity and courage.

If you have ever wondered about alternative funerals, modern grief, sustainable burial options or simply how to
begin the conversation about death, this is the book you've been waiting for.

'For a vibrant, full-of-life woman Hannah Gould makes death and dying sound fascinating - if not fun. Her wit and wisdom are intoxicating ... and make you think.' - Ray Martin, journalist and host of
The Last Goodbye

'Brilliantly insightful and deeply humane. This book is a much-needed call to open up conversations we've too long avoided about mortality and meaning.' - Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, co-hosts of the
Good Mourning podcast

Asurion worked as intended.
After three years, my monitor failed. Asurion paid to send it to a repair center. I didn't save the box the monitor came in, and paid $23 to have it packaged up. They kept me informed of the various steps, such as en route, arrived, testing, and repair started. They discovered it could not economically be repaired and refunded my purchase price. The entire process from me telling them it was broken until the refund took 5 days. I am well satisfied with the service.

Great value - functions well with fairly easy setup.
I found the setup to be fairly simple. It performs exactly as I hoped. I needed a printer, copier and scanner - it is a great value. I did have to do some research to complete the scanner setup - that could have been easier overall.

Office‑grade, solid, fast, and capable.
I didn’t just buy a different printer — I moved up a class. Compared to my Canon PIXMA: I feel about the Epson WF 4834 the way someone feels when they finally replace a flimsy folding chair with an actual piece of furniture. The difference isn’t subtle — it’s structural. Price is awesome. I’m getting my money’s worth and more. Solid machine. Super easy to install on my network. Wireless connection is great! I print from different rooms all the time. Print quality is outstanding, professional looking. Easy to use, period. So far, I’m not disappointed.

Great Value! Great Printer
THE ONLY reason I can't give it a five is because it is the only printer I have ever seen with two trays that you have to print one or the other. Aside from that, BEST Scanner App EVER! Easy!! Hardly ever jams and then only when I put too many in, rushing to finish. The quality is fantastic!
