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
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...
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 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，...
