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
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By 亂 死亡，在許多年輕人看來，只是疾病、衰老，以及各種個體不幸的終結。在哲學家眼裏，它可能是心靈的不息漫遊的拯救、不朽與永生。對於詩人來說，它意味著愛情的忠貞與背叛，世事的有常與無常。而在戰爭狂人的詞典裏，它僅僅代表著一串串冷冰冰的數字。它是武俠小說、抗戰...
评分春节终于有几天空暇看书了，一口气把它读完了。本书的翻译算不上精美，不过内容确实吸引人，这绝对不是一本恐怖的书，文笔之间还透露着一点看破生死小幽默。我们的身后事确实是一个冷知识，任何号称知识渊博的人都应该看一看此书！
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...
评分作者旁征博引，为了写这本书还是做了不少准备。 转移大脑的实验还是很有价值的。 12世纪的阿拉伯世界有“蜜人”，只吃蜂蜜，后来变成药材。然而这是本草纲目中的记载。 人们用木乃伊入药，用各个部分做成药粉。书的口味有点重。看着倒是挺长见识，一些细节的地方以前也没怎么听...

并不是传说中的满纸笑点，引述资料不少，cadavers贡献巨大，最后几章蛇尾了。
