To die, kick the bucket, to meet your Maker, dead as a doornail, get whacked, smoked, bite the dust, sleep with the fishes, go six feet under—whatever death is called, it's going to happen. In 1789 Ben Franklin wrote, "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Death remains a certainty. But how do we die? It's the enormous variety of how that enlivens final exits. According to death certificates, in 1700 there were less than 100 causes of death. Today there are 3,000. With each advance of technology, people find new ways to become deceased, often causing trends that peak in the first year. People are now killed by everything, from cell phones, washing machines, lawn mowers and toothpicks, to the boundless catalog of man—made medicines. In Final Exits the causes of death—bizarre or common—are alphabetically arranged and include actual accounts of people, both famous and ordinary, who unfortunately died that way. (Ants, bad words, Bingo, bean bag chairs, flying cows, frozen toilets, hiccups, lipstick, moray eels, road kill, starfish, and toupees are only some of the more unusual causes.)
离奇死法大百科,这是一本好厚实的书啊。 从没想过原来死法也可以写这么厚的百科书。 对死亡恐惧与虔诚,让人不得不去认真面对,总有一天会来临的时刻。 与其被动,不如主动去了解,去认识,去知道,让自己不那么害怕,甚至活的不那么忧心忡忡。 那样活着比死更痛苦。 嘿嘿...
评分我小时候有种怪病,姑且称为“宇宙恐惧症”。一般入夜便发,很有些欧阳锋华山顶上苦思“我是谁我生从何来死往何去”的腔调。类似于《三国演义》里秦宓刁难张温:“天既轻清,轻清外又有何物?”着了此道,每念及生死大事,不免悲从中来,越悲越胡思乱想。求诸于书,夫子们也不...
评分绝对的,值得一看。我本来以为死亡,不就那几样的嘛,原来原来还有那么的多! 什么喝水多了也会中水毒,家里的蟑螂老鼠之类的都会导致死亡。连去游乐园都会死亡,方式是那么的多,太可怕了,你不知道你下一秒会在哪? 书里偶尔也有诙谐的字句,比如,关于一个女的挟持一只猫,...
评分研究死亡往往能给作家带来素材和灵感,比如斯蒂芬-金在《绿里奇迹》里的一个关键情节:出于私怨,监狱看守珀西将犯人德拉克罗瓦送上电椅时故意没给电椅头罩里包覆着电极的海绵浸上碱性溶液,这使得犯人在受刑时全身起火烧焦,但直到2分钟后才得以解脱。事实上,在电椅发明之初...
