And their work was not just confined to the PCT. Loved the artwork.. You must know VB topics such as what event driven programming is and at least basic computer syntax.. The index goes to six pages and you can find most sites through the index but the guide is so well laid out it is not necessary to consult the index for sites. Most of the dying people were young, smart, and/or extremely articulate.
I would have appreciated an account that included the not-so-pretty experiences of death--the ambiguous, ambivalent, hard, messy parts.
Including those pieces would have made the book more helpful.
The interventions of the authors were somehow just too neat and t
