Look at the Sky
Death in Cultures Around the World
Shawn Haley

What some people have said about "Look at the Sky:"

"Dr. Haley is an archaeologist and anthropologist who has conducted research in many countries to put together this fascinating compendium. It is a compilation of very interesting facts and anecdotes, a proverbial 'a to z' of the cultural diversities in dealing with death."

- FOHAT A Quarterly Publication of Edmonton Theosophical Society (Summer 2000).


"My daughter picked up my copy and started reading it.... She kept finding sections that just fascinated her and then she brought them to my attention. I heard a lot of "Oh. Oh, Mom, listen to this. Listen to this!" and then she'd read a section to me. I could hardly wait to get into reading the book."

- Shari Robertson, Insurance Salesperson


"This book is a humorous, fast-paced exploration of death, belief, disposal and the hereafter. Dr. Haley's knowledgeable approach makes potentially disturbing subject matter less imposing. In fact, I found myself laughing out loud at different points in the book despite topics that include self-mummification, cannibalism, and the fires of hell."

- Corinne Wilson, Artist


"I was one of the first to get a copy of "Look at the Sky" as it was on a topic that is most fascinating to me. I love to read about places and people from around the world. The author is so knowledgeable about death and its customs that he has created a book that is both informative and entertaining."

- Sara Briggs, student


"I read your book and it is so packed with the most amazing things. I never would have thought cultures could be so different. Thank you for a great book of discovery!"

- an Australian reader


" I thought, the book struck the right and often difficult balance between being thorough/academic in its organization and entertaining to read. It is well written and the topic, which is a very delicate one, is treated most elegantly. Fun read!"

- Juan Campos
