我们赤裸裸的来到这个世界,带来了欢喜和新生;也将赤裸裸的离开这个世界,留下了伤悲,还有一具躯体。我们或许都会在人生得某个时点想过我们的灵魂将会以怎样的方式离开这个世界,但对于我们死之后的遗体,你是否也想过以何种方式“毁尸灭迹”回归自然呢? 灵魂美化了人类,就...
评分作者旁征博引,为了写这本书还是做了不少准备。 转移大脑的实验还是很有价值的。 12世纪的阿拉伯世界有“蜜人”,只吃蜂蜜,后来变成药材。然而这是本草纲目中的记载。 人们用木乃伊入药,用各个部分做成药粉。书的口味有点重。看着倒是挺长见识,一些细节的地方以前也没怎么听...
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...
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。...

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
"One of the funniest and most unusual books of the year." ~ Entertainment Weekly

非常想读原版,望指点哪里可以找到,电子书实体书都行
评分很浅,但是很有意思,读完心情非常好(。
评分在GOODREADS上看到对这本书的评分是既有数量又有质量,所以好奇,借来阅读。可能因为在这本书之前刚刚阅读了一本非常欢乐的有关死亡的书籍,这本书相对比起来就显得黑暗了很多。首先对我来说,生词就多了很多,其次,作者更多谈论到的是对死尸的处理和用途的探讨,所以主题严肃了一点,但是也是读得大开眼界,汗毛直立。尤其是吃人肉的那一章节,祖国也是被点名很多。作者写得相当客观,有时看到一些也是忍俊不禁。现在犹豫要不要去读作者的其他书。
评分boring
评分啃了两个月终于啃完了。已成为玛丽罗琦脑残粉。
