Overview
Death is a natural and necessary part of the cycle of life.
When any living creature is born, it is destined to die. But death is not the end. Organisms decompose into nutrients that other living things use to survive. Dead trees serve as new habitats for fungi, insects and small animals. Even stars, once they’ve consumed all their hydrogen, die and can transform into red giants, white dwarfs or supernovas. Discover funeral traditions of various religions, cultures and animals. Learn how animals have found ways to survive for longer through evolution, and for humans, through medicine and healthcare. Read about gods, goddesses and symbols of death. And find out what happens once we’re gone.
With a blend of science, psychology and culture, The Mystery of Death introduces young readers to the big questions surrounding death. By learning more about death, we can begin to see it not as something frightening or unknown, but as a natural part of life.
