具体描述
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.

读后感
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...
评分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...
评分 评分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#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...
