From burial caves in Indonesia festooned with bones to skulls smoking cigarettes, wearing beanie hats and sunglasses, and decorated with garlands of flowers in South America, author Paul Koudounaris ventures beyond the grave to find messages of hope and salvation. His glorious color photographs and insightful commentaries reveal that in many places, the realms of the living and the dead are nowhere near so distinct as contemporary Western society would have us believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Koudounaris, Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500252611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 7.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Koudounaris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39836260728907,"sku":"9780500252611","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_9e4c4ac0-9a1e-4ffa-a71f-2630ad3c8f19.jpg?v=1661370371","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/memento-mori-the-dead-among-us-9780500252611","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
