What is a photographic image, a painting or a sculpture other than a way to capture the viewer's attention? The author has hopefully seen something in her environment that she wants to draw the viewer's attention to. The photographic image can, in other words, be said to be a trap for our gaze. These traps may be more or less effective, the viewer must work with this trap in order for it to work. This is because we cannot see something in an image that we have not already seen or we cannot see something that we have not already have been able to imagine. If another person may think the content, there is a possibility that the viewer can also see it. This book contains some thinking about what a photographic image really is in a couple of essays.

This is a history of the process of embalming dead bodies, something that people have been doing for thousands of years. From the preface: "I have considered it my duty to give here the details of the composition of the liquids employed, either as baths or injections, by the physician and naturalist; the interest of science imposing on me this obligation. But, as regards embalming, the same motive does not exist; I have consequently abstained from giving in totality the means employed in this operation, reserving to myself the care of this process on the request of families or physicians. It was not until after many unsuccessful efforts that I succeeded in discovering a method capable of insuring the indefinite preservation of bodies deposited in the earth. A thousand unexpected difficulties arose in my path; and to cite only one, at the end of eight or nine months of preservation, a vegetable production, known to botanists under the name of byssus, for a long time embarrassed me; I tried numerous means, before discovering one capable of suppressing this formation. The perfection to which I have brought the art of embalming, leaves little to desire. So convinced am I at length of the efficacy of the processes which I employ, that I shall be always ready, at the request of the authorities or of families, to exhume those bodies which I have already embalmed in great numbers, at any expressed period of time."

To what extent are the dead truly dead? In medieval society, corpses were assigned special functions and meanings in several different ways. They were still present in the daily life of the family of the deceased, and could even play active roles in the life of the community. Taking the materiality of death as a point of departure, this book comprehensively examines the conservation, burial and destruction of the corpse in its specific historical context. A complex and ambivalent treatment of the dead body emerges, one which necessarily confronts established modern perspectives on death. New scientific methods have enabled archaeologists to understand the remains of the dead as valuable source material. This book contextualizes the resulting insights for the first time in an interdisciplinary framework, considering their place in the broader picture drawn by the written sources of this period, ranging from canon law and hagiography to medieval literature and historiography. It soon becomes obvious that the dead body is more than a physical object, since its existence only becomes relevant in the cultural setting it is perceived in. In analogy to the findings for the living body in gender studies, the corpse too, can best be understood as constructed. Ultimately, the dead body is shaped by society, i.e. the living. This book examines the mechanisms by which this cultural construction of the body took place in medieval Europe. The result is a fascinating story that leads deep into medieval theories and social practices, into the discourses of the time and the daily life experiences during this epoch.

This book is written to inspire the next generation of embalmers to be the best they can be and remind the "old hands" that we can still learn and strive for greatness. The families that we serve deserve it. There are those who proclaim that embalming is dying or dead (pun intended). Cremation is the only future, some say. "Don't waste your time learning embalming for goodness sake. Learn to rebuild the retort or replace the recording wheel. After all, those are the required skills of the future. Furthermore, formaldehyde will be outlawed and that will be the end of embalming," others will say. For those of you in states where cremation is (or will be) in the 70-90% range, remember that there will still be that percentage of families who may want traditional services that include embalming. There will also be those who want cremation after embalming and visitation. It is the embalmer in these high cremation areas who really needs to maintain skills so that when called upon, you are ready. It is the previous embalmers who will be limited by repetition due to cremation and who must really remember and practice standards of care and professional techniques. Will embalming decrease over the coming decades? It already has. Will embalming and embalmers become obsolete like typewriters and printed yellow pages? No. In fact, great embalmers will naturally excel in a free market system. There will be a need for great embalmers. It is my hope that the following pages, chapters, standards, and ideas empower those of you who are embalmers and those of you who want to be prepared to serve those families who will value the services that only a professional embalmer can provide.

"Terrific... and an oddly enjoyable read." I am very surprised this book doesn't have a review yet, and I'm honored to be the first. I'm a layman when it comes to this stuff; I am educated, but by no means am I a mortician, doctor, or scientist. I bought this book only for research for a novel, but I'm amazed at how easy to read, how interesting, but, and most importantly, how objectively based it is. It's rare (if not impossible) to find a scientific text that is enjoyable to read while remaining completely grounded in the facts. This is a super fun book to read, and it'll fill your brain with odd tidbits of information that you'll be able to bring up at dinner parties for a lifetime. - A Reader Review (Amazon.com) This book is the result of many years of contact with embalmers in training and in practice. We have included in this work a crystallization of essential information without which, the embalmer must be poorly equipped to carry out the many duties incident to his calling in a manner satisfactory to his patrons and to himself. Having been thrown in contact with the many problems surrounding the education of the embalmer, the authors have gained many ideas as to just how to place the information before the embalmer so that the result will be reflected in an increased capacity for good work on the part of the individual embalmer. In prescribing information for the embalmer in this manner, we know clearly just what is to be expected from the application of the sciences herein described, and wish for the novitiate and practitioner the same enthusiasm for actual knowledge that has helped us thus far in arranging the information. In Part One, we have chronicled, from the word of historians and men of the present day, a condensed, yet complete exposition of the funeral customs relating to the care of the dead, giving our readers a better understanding of present methods by reason of an opportunity to compare them with those of the past. In Part Two, we have placed the ground work or foundation for the securing of the proper education in embalming. The work on Anatomy, which, if mastered by the student or practitioner, is by far the greatest lever in helping him to master his lifework. In Part Three, we have placed the practical application of the prin-ciples of modern embalming, tempered by the use of the sciences of pathology, bacteriology, and chemistry in our own application of the work and in its transcription to these pages. In formulating the technical part of the work, we have been greatly assisted by many authorities among whom are:—Green, Howell, Thomas, Piersol, Gray, Spalteholz, Myers, Barnes, Renouard, Clarke, and those authors who have from time to time contributed articles to the current embalmers journals. We are deeply indebted to these men for the results of their work.
