  Art and Death
One of the central themes developed by Ariès is the "relationship between man's attitude towards death and his awareness of self, of his degree of existence, or simply of his individuality." [3] According to him, the concept of death as a familiar and anonymous event was replaced by the suppression of death.
Here death was considered a process that was both familiar and near, featuring a simple public and ritualistic ceremony largely controlled by the dying person and for which friends and family, including the children, were present.
With the increasing privatization of death and the institutionalization of the dying, by 1950 death denial was to become the reigning orientation.

 DBL: Amps: Ground switches and "death caps"
The ground switch works by creating a high-impedance connection, through the grounding or "death" capacitor, between the chassis and one side of the AC line.
Grounded outlets were preceded by polarized outlets which had one prong wider than the other.
Now that we have grounded outlets almost everywhere, the function of the ground cap has been replaced by a direct connection from the chassis to the safety ground through the round pin of a 3-wire plug.

 Salon: The Italian Way of Death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Death comes quickly but subtly: The don's steps turn to a stagger, and his laughter becomes gasps for air, until his heavy form topples and sprawls on the ground.
Or death can be a terrible explosion of the nerves, as when the don's unfaithful, pretty boy son-in-law, Carlo, is garroted from behind by Clemenza and convulsively kicks out the windshield of a moving car.
Death Italian style is a luscious banquet, a bruising game of chance, or crime and punishment as pagan survival of the fittest.

Colonel Bolger's book is an urgent read; in it he describes the "death ground" that U.S. policy makers are reluctant to send troops into and this is evaporating our infantry into a future geostrategic policy defeat.

James Zadroga's family and union released his autopsy results Tuesday, saying they were proof of the first death of a city police officer related to cleanup work at ground zero after the terrorist attacks.

The Zadrogas have not filed a lawsuit in connection with the death or their son, and have no intention of doing so, CBSNews.com's Stephen Smith reported in February.

 Truthdig - Ear to the Ground - Iraqi Death Toll Hits 50,000
BAGHDAD — At least 50,000 Iraqis have died violently since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, according to statistics from the Baghdad morgue, the Iraqi Health Ministry and other agencies — a toll 20,000 higher than previously acknowledged by the Bush administration.
Many more Iraqis are believed to have been killed but not counted because of serious lapses in recording deaths in the chaotic first year after the invasion, when there was no functioning Iraqi government, and continued spotty reporting nationwide since.
The toll, which is mostly of civilians but probably also includes some security forces and insurgents, is daunting: Proportionately, it is equivalent to 570,000 Americans being killed nationwide in the last three years.

"In Death Ground" is, chronologically, the sequel to "Crusade"; moreover, it reuses many of the characters from "Crusade," as well as relying on background information provided by that book.
That being said, "In Death Ground" is a book which is superior in many ways to "Crusade." At heart, both books are really nothing but space opera, in which space battles play a major role.
As opposed to both "Insurrection" and "In Death Ground", the issues are NOT resolved in this book; clearly a sequel is planned, and I hope not too far away.
