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

这个奇幻漂流,肯定是超过少年派。 今天改完几页书稿后,我很开心,我觉得,应该轻松一下,换换脑子,于是,我就抓起身后一本书来读——很多未读的书都在身后,主要是近便、好拿。这本,就是《人类尸体的奇异生活》。 当然只有果壳才出这样奇葩的书,但是,象我这样的果粉,...

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...

7月10日中午拿到的书,立刻就放下即将看完的小说,我对这本科普书充满了好奇。虽然我是个比较胆小的人,但是在某些方面思想也比较超然。 在本书的第15页有段对白:玛丽勒娜回答说,对付人头,她没有问题。“就我而言,手叫我受不了。”她抬起眼来,“因为你抓着这么一个孤零零...

在GOODREADS上看到對這本書的評分是既有數量又有質量,所以好奇,藉來閱讀。可能因為在這本書之前剛剛閱讀瞭一本非常歡樂的有關死亡的書籍,這本書相對比起來就顯得黑暗瞭很多。首先對我來說,生詞就多瞭很多,其次,作者更多談論到的是對死屍的處理和用途的探討,所以主題嚴肅瞭一點,但是也是讀得大開眼界,汗毛直立。尤其是吃人肉的那一章節,祖國也是被點名很多。作者寫得相當客觀,有時看到一些也是忍俊不禁。現在猶豫要不要去讀作者的其他書。
