2021ill., br. "The Last Dance", giunto ormai all'undicesima edizione, è un manuale di Tanatologia che ha saputo mantenere nel tempo l'attenzione sulle esigenze del lettore, dall'interessato al professionista, offrendo una copertura ampia e interdisciplinare delle questioni relative alla morte, al morire e al lutto. È una sorta di enciclopedia sull'argomento, una summa che racchiude in sé tutti gli aspetti che ruotano attorno al morire dal punto di vista culturale, sociale, etico, psicologico, umano, sanitario e non solo. Accettare di essere affetti da una malattia terminale, dover affrontare la scomparsa di una persona cara o la morte del proprio animale domestico, sopravvivere a una catastrofe naturale, a un omicidio di massa o a un incidente stradale sono eventi che hanno un effetto psicologicamente sconvolgente su chi li subisce, ed è quindi importante sapere come affrontare il trauma a seconda del caso che si presenta e della persona coinvolta. Allo stesso modo è importante porre l'accento sulla ritualità legata alla morte e su come, nel tempo, le diverse culture si sono relazionate a essa e in che modo la piangono, la celebrano, la superano. Questo manuale è composto da quindici capitoli che, integrando il lato sperimentale e quello accademico, così come la dimensione emotiva e intellettuale degli studi sulla morte, sviscerano ogni sfaccettatura relativa all'argomento, coniugando solide basi teoriche con applicazioni pratiche alla vita. Il libro combina discipline diverse: antropologia, arte, etica, scienze della salute, letteratura, filosofia, psicologia, politica pubblica, religione e sociologia.
