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.
Mary Roach is the author of Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War, Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, and Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Her writing has appeared in Outside, Wired, National Geographic, and the New York Times Magazine, among others. She lives in Oakland, California.

评分这是一本很趣致的小书,收到之后没有立刻读,夏休回家的时候带着上了飞机,当在近万米的高空上正好读到通过法航尸检,乘客们的尸体如何倾诉了连黑匣子都不知道的秘密时,难免不寒而栗,想着我所在的第12排靠窗的位置,当机舱被大气压这段,而我和身边的乘客(啊对不起大家)会...

评分 评分我在路上捡到的兔子死了。我把它吃掉了。 K同学对此反应十分激烈。我试图向他阐明,我对尸体的这种处理没有伤害到任何人。他反问我,你会吃掉你的狗弟(我养的一只大白狗)吗?他用狗弟做比是因为知道狗弟是我的心肝宝贝。我说,会啊,它都死了。我很快觉得这个答案太过刺激,...
