All societies have their own customs and beliefs surrounding death. In the West, traditional ways of mourning are disappearing, and though science has had a major impact on views of death, it has taught us little about the way to die or to grieve. Many who come into contact with the dying and the bereaved from other cultures are at a loss to know how to offer appropriate and sensitive support. Death and Bereavement Across Cultures, provides a handbook with which to meet the needs of doctors, nurses, social workers, counsellors and others involved in the care of the dying and bereaved. Written by international authorities in the field, this important text: * describes the rituals and beliefs of major world religions * explains their psychological and historical context * shows how customs change on contact with the West * considers the implications for the future This book explores the richness of mourning traditions around the world with the aim of increasing the understanding which we all bring to the issue of death.

Tales of a School Bus is based on real-life experiences that happened during my career as a school bus driver. As I observed young children board the bus for the first time and tried to calm their fears or reassure them that their moms or dads would be waiting at the bus stop when we got there at the end of the day""and then watched as these children grew up""I realized that some of my experiences might help other children to be less afraid when they begin riding the school bus. I also realized that children are very curious by nature, and they love to watch as big machines work. They are equally fascinated by the lights on a school bus as they are with a tractor or a crane. Tales of a School Bus is meant to help satisfy some of that curiosity in a friendly and positive way.

Uncommon Friendship explores the often-overlooked dynamic of interreligious friendships, considering their significance for how we think about contemporary religious thought. By exploring the dynamics of three relationships between important religious thinkers---Franz Rosenzweig and Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Emmanuel Levinas and Maurice Blanchot, and Julia Kristeva and Catherine Clement---this study demonstrates the ways such friendships enable innovation and transformation within religious traditions. For each pair of thinkers, the sustained engagement and disagreement between them becomes central to their religious and philosophical development, helping them to respond effectively and creatively to issues and problems facing their communities and societies. Through a rereading of their work, Young shows how such friendships can help us rethink religion, aesthetics, education, and politics---as well as friendship itself. "An utterly remarkable treatise on the interreligious friendships that joined three pairs of the great thinkers of twentieth century Europe. I know of nothing quite like this. It is rigorous scholarship that has the sharp edge of cultural criticism and yet the inspiring effect of a philosophic and spiritual poem. Its lesson is indeed uncommon: that critical reason is strengthened by love, that love is deepened by undomesticated difference, and that, in a quiet way, the name of God may have a lot to do with all of the above."---Peter Ochs Edgar Bronfman Professor of Modern Judaie Studies University of Virginia "An elegantly written and intellecually engaging study, William Young's Uncommon Friendships offers a refreshing portrayal of the praxis of friendship and its ability to operate as a key element in the development of ideas generally and in efforts towards interreligious dialogue in particular. Young's lucid descriptions of the long-term intellectual engagements between Rosenstock/Rosenzweig, Levinas/Blanchot, Kristeva/Clement highlight the embodied, creative, and often unsettling affects of friendship upon the evolution of an intellectual work. Young's book deepens our understanding of the social character of knowledge and challenges readers to consider the value of a praxis of friendship as a check upon solipsism and the drive for truth and as a tool for cultivating patient listening and an openness regarding the contingency of our beliefs."---Randi Rashkover George Mason University

Young is a trained philosopher and theologian . He is also a churchman, dedicated to the edification and wellbeing of God's people. And as this collection of essays demonstrates, he is the kind of man who feels just as much at home discussing technical matters of metaphysics as he does promoting experiential Christianity. This book is a testimony to Young's wide ranging interests and capabilities, presenting a number of theological and philosophical essays, some sermons and other pastoral writings, and several book reviews. --from publisher description

All in all, Author WCY is founder of the National Reparation Reformation & Annexation movement, historian, and Social Engineer of the 21st Century. His work collaborate family history with American history, world history, current affairs, and bible history from the perspective of truth. African American Historian Dr. Jim Horton declared: "if you tell the story of the American experience known as American history and leave out African American history then American history is incomplete." Therefore, WCY's work is a correction of American history b/c the history that the baby boomer generation learned in school was about wars, economics, and dead white men which undermined the deeds of African Americans. Although WCY is into politics, he is not a politician. He is a salesman that's selling 100 U.S. senate seats for $177.00 each and is trying to spark the biggest real estate deal in American history since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 that will tear down Trump's wall via annexation of North America, preserve the continuity of the American Dream and bring in Mexico, Cuba, Canada & USA territories into the union as states which means a new white suburbs on the white sandy beaches of Mexico, Guam, and Puerto Rico. After all, white people without suburbs are like fish without a sea. As a congressional informer, consumer protector, and whistle blower, WCY's reports are on record and are reported to the U.S. Senate Homeland Committee on Governmental Affairs, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security and the president of the USA. In Case No. 12-01189-CV-W-REL in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Bill summoned the regional directors of the U.S. Census Bureau to court to explain their methodology and how they arrived at the conclusion on the 2010 Census that the USA population was 310 million with the majority race being white, and the directors were a NO SHOW which means pursuant to Rule 12 of Fed. R. Civ. If you fail to respond, judgment by default will be entered against the defendants. Bill Young won the case by default, but U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, II refused to pay Bill and had the case DISMISSED which resulted in Holder's forced resignation as U.S. Attorney General. Holder's suppression of the truth via having case dismissed covered up the fact that the majority USA population is Hispanic and not white which means Americans in the 21st Century have become slaves to lies, but after they read WCY's work (THE WHOLE TRUTH) then the truth shall set them free. However, to get to the hill of truth, WCY's book will navigate his readers through the valley of 200 years of lies and the 116th Congress whom are the largest group of liars that has ever been assembled together in one place in America's 244 years of American history.
