Twice Dead by Margaret M Lock
Traces the discourse that contributed to the locating of a different criterion of death in the brain, and its routinization in clinical practice in North America. This book demonstrates that death is not self-evident, that the space between life and death is historically and culturally constructed, fluid, multiple, and open to dispute.
