Hardcover. Condizione: New. Crematoria present particular challenges to the architect: located out of sight and visited only from necessity, they must fulfil the practical and emotional needs of all faiths and none. Illustrated with drawings, plans and commissioned photographs, this survey of Scotland's 31 crematoria follows their development from the pioneering buildings of the 19th century to today's Modernist architecture, and includes work by leading architects such as Robert Lorimer and Basil Spence.

Paperback. Condizione: New. For the past twenty years, Scottish death culture has emerged as a focus of scholars drawn from a wide variety of disciplines. Death comes to us all but too often we treat it as a private or personal matter. The former taboo about death is slowly lifting and contemporary research is playing an increasing part. Accordingly, the fifteen essays gathered in this book probe the multi-facetted role of death in Scottish history and culture. They explore personal fears of death, anxieties about Predestination, prayers for the dead and the appeal of Spiritualism. They analyse the public face of death in law, economics and medicine: changes in capital punishment, funeral poverty, the teaching of anatomy and prevention of stillbirths. Within the worlds of religion and ritual, they consider the making of saints, burial practice following the Scottish Reformation and the tradition of keening within the Gáidhealtachd. With an Introduction by Professor Jane Dawson, these essays by specialists in the field not only highlight the richness of the primary sources for studying death in Scotland but reveal how death studies identify key features of Scottish life and society across ten centuries.
