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

New York Times National Best-Seller

在我们中国人的哲学中,似乎很忌讳死。当然,死在文人墨客的笔下,也可以描述的很悲壮,比如古诗中有专门的悼亡诗,但总体上,我们提到死,是讳莫如深的,是避之不及的。对尸体,应该说,尤其如此,所以,湘西赶尸人成了众说纷纭的一个传说,嗯,只是传说。 在拿到这本书之前...

我不知道为什么豆瓣评分这么高,而我又出于好奇心买了这本书,有要的同学麻烦留下地址,不包邮赠送。 首先,作为一本翻译著作。实在是不敢恭维这位译者的水平,真是看到译文的行文结构就自己想脑补回英文。 其次,还是作为一本翻译,原文中作者用英文处处想要表达的幽默感,...
