Three major aspects covered by the book Include, but are certainly not limited to, the enduring tradition of Japanese ancestor veneration, China's transition from state-sponsored materialism to the increasing belief in some form of afterlife, as well as the diversity in senses of, or disbelief in, life after death in the United States. Through these diverse first-hand testimonies the book reveals that underlying these changes in each society there is a shift from collective to individual belief, with people developing their own visions of what may, or may not, happen after death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be valuable reading for students of Anthropology as well as Religious, Cultural, Asian and American Studies. It will also be an impactful resource for professionals such as doctors, nurses, and hospice workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGordon Mathews\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the Dept. of Anthropology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYang Yang\u003c\/strong\u003e has an M.Phil. degree in Anthropology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiu Ying Kwong\u003c\/strong\u003e has an M.Phil. degree in Anthropology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, writing her thesis on senses of life after death in south China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 186\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42649393266784,"sku":"9781032345031","price":113.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/QXoxSGxPTTU5R21hbVJBSUkxSDZoQT09.webp?v=1773719461","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/life-after-death-today-in-the-united-states-japan-and-china-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
