Palliative Care and Hospice by Erica Borgstrom
This book offers a comprehensive collection of seminal research into palliative care and hospice, providing an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of end-of-life care, hospice practices, and the care of the dying. Drawing on articles published in Mortality, an academic journal dedicated to the study of death, dying, grief, bereavement, and memorialization, the chapters span a wide range of international and institutional contexts. Together, they demonstrate the breadth and depth of research into end-of-life care practices, experiences, and settings, offering insights into the evolving field of palliative care.
The volume opens with a preface that contextualizes the significant role Mortality has played in advancing research and understanding of palliative care both in the UK and internationally. From foundational works such as reflections on hospice care and the origins of St Christopher’s Hospice to contemporary studies on cultural humility in perinatal palliative care, the book explores critical themes including the evolution of palliative care, health-promoting social models, bi-cultural research approaches, and the challenges of providing care in diverse settings such as correctional facilities and low-income contexts.
This book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and students in fields such as palliative care, hospice care, social work, nursing, public health, and medical humanities. It also appeals to those interested in the broader subjects of death studies, grief, and bereavement.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
