Hired to interview a Canadian artist on the 25th anniversary of his most infamous creation, "The Dying Athabaskan," Ritu Agarwal wonders if she may be getting in over her head: Niall O'Keevan, a notorious fabulist, hates to talk about himself or his work and he has been known to spin lies and tell tales. Yet Ritu needs the work, and when she meets O'Keevan at his studio, he begins to tell her the story behind the sculpture of a bizarre, shattered man: how much of it is true, and has the young freelancer discovered the key when she wonders aloud if the statue is really three people pieced together into one monstrous form. . . ? "The Dying Athabaskan" won Twelve Winters Press's Publisher's Long Story Prize.

Many leading figures in the field of Athabaskan languages contributed to this volume, and their range of topics matches Robert Young's interests. Four papers deal with northern Athabaskan languages, which Young studied in the 1930s. The remaining essays focus on aspects of Navajo language and culture; Young has specialized in this area for over fifty years in collaboration with his mentor, William Morgan, Sr. Several essays present detailed analysis of verb and sentence structure in Navajo, two are studies of Navajo literacy, another examines Navajo philosophy, and one offers the first study of how children learn the complexities of the Navajo verb. Anyone interested in Navajo studies or Athabaskan languages will find these essays invaluable.

Few issues apply universally to people as poignantly as death and dying. All religions address concerns with death from the handling of human remains, to defining death, to suggesting what happens after life. The Routledge Companion to Death and Dying provides readers with an overview of the study of death and dying. Questions of death, mortality, and more recently of end-of-life care, have long been important ones and scholars from a range of fields have approached the topic in a number of ways. Comprising over fifty-two chapters from a team of international contributors, the companion covers: funerary and mourning practices; concepts of the afterlife; psychical issues associated with death and dying; clinical and ethical issues; philosophical issues; death and dying as represented in popular culture. This comprehensive collection of essays will bring together perspectives from fields as diverse as history, philosophy, literature, psychology, archaeology and religious studies, while including various religious traditions, including established religions like Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism as well as new or less widely known traditions such as the Spiritualist Movement, the Church of Latter Day Saints, and Raëlianism. The Routledge Companion to Death and Dying is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies, philosophy and literature.

This compelling book asks what loss to our collective intellectual heritage will be inflicted by the death of these languages.
