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
Stiff - The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers （人类尸体的有趣故事） 2003年的一本有关人类尸体的畅销书，其时颇受欢迎。作者Mary Roach，专栏作家。在本书中，作者介绍了对人类尸体使用、安置的历史，并探讨了相关的伦理道德问题（如器官捐赠问题）。本书主要是满足好奇心...
评分我承认，当我的小伙伴们发现这本书的关键词是“尸体”时有一瞬间的确惊呆了。在读这本书之前，我对尸体用途的最初了解来自学医的一位朋友，当然那也许是最普通的用途，医学解剖教学。其次，就是各种罪案美剧中的法医学鉴证了。也许，罪案美剧里的尸体并不能归并到美妙的“奇异...
评分这个奇幻漂流，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，...
评分 评分“人头，体积和重量与一只烤鸡大体相同。”这是全书第一句对我有所触动的话。 【总体评价：三星】 总体来说，这多少还是本有些标题党的书，并不像推荐语那么引人入胜，肯定有部分是译作的原因。像陆川的电影一样题材很棒而内容难以跟上。但毕竟是有人如此认真地为尸体写了一整...
