The Empire of Death: A Cultural History of Charnal Houses and Ossuaries
It is sometimes said that death is the last taboo, but it was not always so. For centuries, religious establishments constructed decorated ossuaries and charnel houses that stand as masterpieces of art created from human bone. These unique structures have been pushed into the footnotes of history; they were part of a dialogue with death that is now silent.
Dr. Paul Koudounaris will present a slideshow and sign copies of this beautiful new book.
An excellent writeup and overview of the content of the book at Flavorwire: http://flavorwire.com/212858/new-book-of-photographs-makes-death-less-creepy
