大概是因为低低的窃笑引人注意,因此偶尔有人会问我:“你在看什么书啊?” 短暂的扭捏之后,我只能实话实说。“一本关于尸体的书。”有时候,我还会把书皮展示给对方看,希望能延续谈话。但是,谈话往往就此终结。我会得到一个意味深长的眼神,这种眼神并不算得上友好。 幸...
评分初初听西说起这本书的时候,就浮现出两个字“恐怖”。于是,自做主张的把它列入恐怖小说的范围里。后来,为了帮西订这本书,而去百度搜的时候,发现它居然被列入内科学里。好奇的狠,昨天拿到,便花去一个通宵看完。 知道嘛,看完后发出的感叹居然是:幸好今天没有象以往那样在...
评分#Mary Roach#的《Stiff》的中文版《僵尸的奇异生活》翻译得正经有余趣味不足,有些地方准确性尚待商榷,比如“ You cut off heads. You cut off heads. You cut off heads.”被翻译成“你这个刽子手,你这个刽子手”,但原文所指的只是医学院助教人员移除尸体头部,哪来杀人行...
评分这无疑是一本很好看的书。书名有很大的误导,以为是一本鬼怪小说。其实不然,要知道,我是鬼怪和科普都很热爱的好小孩。 作者是一位身在美国的女人。古怪的是,为什么这种书的作者和读者都是女性居多?而且这个作者的老公也是那种无论对活人肢体还是死人肢体都非常敏感的男性。...
评分By 亂 死亡,在許多年輕人看來,只是疾病、衰老,以及各種個體不幸的終結。在哲學家眼裏,它可能是心靈的不息漫遊的拯救、不朽與永生。對於詩人來說,它意味著愛情的忠貞與背叛,世事的有常與無常。而在戰爭狂人的詞典裏,它僅僅代表著一串串冷冰冰的數字。它是武俠小說、抗戰...

An oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem.
For two thousand years, cadavers-some willingly, some unwittingly-have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.
In this fascinating, ennobling account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries-from the anatomy labs and human-sourced pharmacies of medieval and nineteenth-century Europe to a human decay research facility in Tennessee, to a plastic surgery practice lab, to a Scandinavian funeral directors' conference on human composting. In her droll, inimitable voice, Roach tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them.
"Uproariously funny ...informative and respectful...irreverent and witty...impossible to put down." ~ Publishers Weekly
"Not grisly but inspiring, this work considers the many valuable scientific uses of the body after death." ~ Library Journal

New York Times National Best-Seller
语言幽默,结构清楚,有不少一手资料,态度也很中立诚恳
评分啃了两个月终于啃完了。已成为玛丽罗琦脑残粉。
评分非常想读原版,望指点哪里可以找到,电子书实体书都行
评分好书。适合任何阶段的任何人群。未知死,焉知生。死生一条。太多的地方该做笔记,可惜我懒。
评分这女的很会调侃,真是实现了谈笑生死间哈哈哈。中国在她笔下又是吃人肉饺子又是用耳屎粪便治病,好愚昧啊。连我都觉得有点不公啊。
