The Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press discusses issues and controversies related to death, life extension, and anti-death. A variety of differing points of view are presented and argued. Death And Anti-Death, Volume 12: One Hundred Years After Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.: ISBN 978-1-934297-19-3 is the Hardback edition and ISBN 978-1-934297-20-9 is the Paperback edition.

Volume 12, as indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914). The chapters do not necessarily mention him (but some chapters do). The chapters (by professional philosophers and other professional scholars) are directed to issues related to death, life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. Most of the contributions consist of scholarship unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Index as well as an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of contents.
