(BTW, It's a Powell's STAFF PICK: We all have to check out sometime,
but some of us die more spectacularly than others. HP
Newquist and Rich Maloof researched the painful particulars
of what it's like to perish from any number of unfortunate
events, including a shark attack, burning at the stake,
death cap mushrooms, a space-suit malfunction, the bends,
or a drug overdose at a rock show. This well-researched
book is strangely fascinating, and not just for morbid goth
teenagers. -- Recommended by Carole R., Powell's Technical

The Introduction was written by Peter M. Ftizpatrick M.D., who is a big deal at Mayo Clinic in Florida. He knows more about nephrology and electrolyte disturbances than most humans. Here's his biography.
Bill McGuinness, who wrote the "afterword" is director of McGuinness Funeral Homes in New Jersey. By some strange coincidence, he also happens to be one of the best amateur golfers in the U.S. Go figure. Here is his business info.
The illustrations were created by Jim Shinnick, the premier art director in the country. He is also a Guinness aficionado, which certainly doesn't hurt when drawing several dozen ways to exit this life. Check out more of Jim's work at his site.
