A compact history and physiological view of death and dying. The author argues pain is not inevitable in death, describes the dying process, and contrasts sensory loss, brain changes, and the soothing role of anesthesia. It also weighs visions at end of life, linking them to brain activity and chemical effects.
A Chick a Dee grows envious of an Eagle and spreads slander among forest birds. The Eagle rebukes the claims, noting a small bird cannot match a large one, and implies consequences for cruelty. The tale ends with the moral that slander cannot enlarge the Chick a Dee’s own stature.
