3.0 out of 5 stars Hospice : A Photographic Inquiry, October 13, 2000
By Thom Mitchell (Providence, RI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A book about a place where people go to die will not by definition be a easy book to pick up and glance through. The photographers, Nan Goldin et al, do a remarkable job bringing these people to us in a situation none of us would want to be in. There is compassion and dignity in these situations which can all too often lend themselves to the snap and run mentality of today's press coverage. It is worth buying especially if you have an interest in quality, non-sensational photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, June 25, 2005
By C. K. Lyons (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a graduate of Jack Radcliffe's photography program and now one of his models, I have to say that Jack is one of the most remarkable people that I know. He is the most caring person this world possibly has and he shows this in his hospice work. He is truely so proud of this acomplishment and he should. I recently experianced hospice life with a relative and it was heart breaking. But these photographers show the heros of the hospice that give these folks a sense of peace and comfort in a time where they know things will not improve. I highly recommend this book. You wont be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars hard to view, November 8, 2001
By A Customer
i'll admit its hard to look at but the way you get right there in it, is amazing, it's just photographed beautifully. Each photographers style was evident. I especially enjoyed Jack Radcliffes section because his more than any other, i felt was about life under harsh circumstances, but still about life more than death itself.
