Clifton Bryant and Dennis Peck, editors ofnthe two-volume set, have between them well over a half century of teaching experience in sociology. Theirncareers have resulted in an impressive list of awards and publications, including the recent Handbook of Death &nDying (2003). EDHE has 230 contributors, the majority hailing from institutions within the United States. Asia,nEurope, the Middle East, and South America are also represented. An obvious effort was made to provide a globalnperspective to the topic of death and dying.
