Death becomes you, and it's just another fact of life explored in Cause of Death, a revealing abundance of startling data, false perceptions, bizarre fallacies and some totally unexpected statistics about how, why, when and where we all bite the dust.

Disease, accidents, occupational hazards, poisons, plagues, infections, murder, fauna and fungi, insect bites, war and even bison. All this and more in a book you really shouldn't be living without.
