An oddly compelling, often hilarious forensic 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.
Mary Roach is the author of Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War, Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, and Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Her writing has appeared in Outside, Wired, National Geographic, and the New York Times Magazine, among others. She lives in Oakland, California.

評分這是一本很趣緻的小書,收到之後沒有立刻讀,夏休迴傢的時候帶著上瞭飛機,當在近萬米的高空上正好讀到通過法航屍檢,乘客們的屍體如何傾訴瞭連黑匣子都不知道的秘密時,難免不寒而栗,想著我所在的第12排靠窗的位置,當機艙被大氣壓這段,而我和身邊的乘客(啊對不起大傢)會...
評分我在路上撿到的兔子死瞭。我把它吃掉瞭。 K同學對此反應十分激烈。我試圖嚮他闡明,我對屍體的這種處理沒有傷害到任何人。他反問我,你會吃掉你的狗弟(我養的一隻大白狗)嗎?他用狗弟做比是因為知道狗弟是我的心肝寶貝。我說,會啊,它都死瞭。我很快覺得這個答案太過刺激,...
