Atul Gawande, a Boston surgeon explores the issues of aging and death in this book which, among other books dealing with the same subjects, echoes the driving desire for awareness of the human condition in terms of longevity and living a meaningful life.

As a book lover myself, I am always on the look-out not merely for interesting subject matters but also refreshing ways of looking at things, events and people, both in non-fiction and fiction works. For instance, we know how our teachers in high school and college opened our minds to historical events and scientific ideas that shaped the world today. Watching a docu film on Discovery Channel or History Channel revealing new and bizarre information about the life of Genghis Khan or the ancient Mayans expands out constricted understanding of our textbook-based knowledge.
