Death and the Afterlife: A Chronological Journey, from Cremation to Quantum Resurrection

I read Cliff Pickover's blog regularly for interesting science-related posts that I can lift for NOTL.

The least I can do in return is plug his new book Death and the Afterlife: A Chronological Journey, from Cremation to Quantum Resurrection.

Throughout history, the nature and mystery of death has captivated artists, scientists, philosophers, physicians, and theologians. This eerie chronology ventures right to the borderlines of science and sheds light into the darkness. Here, topics as wide ranging as the Maya death gods, golems, and séances sit side by side with entries on zombies and quantum immortality. With the turn of every page, readers will encounter beautiful artwork, along with unexpected insights about death and what may lie beyond.
