An Easeful or Troubling DeathReviews'There is probably no one writing today who has a greater insight into these quandaries, and who offers a more assured approach to their solution, than George Smith' Justice Michael Kirby, writing for Global Studies Journal, Indiana University, 2012 'There is probably no one writing today who has a greater insight into these quandaries, and who offers a more assured approach to their solution, than George Smith' Justice Michael Kirby, writing for Global Studies Journal, Indiana University, 2012 'This is a work of reflective and beautifully written chapters in a timely and well-informed book. Its author is undogmatic and always thoughtful. He portrays a reverence for the human person that is, in a sense, spiritual.
