An oddly compelling, often hilarious 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.

"Uproariously funny ...informative and respectful...irreverent and witty...impossible to put down." ~ Publishers Weekly

"Not grisly but inspiring, this work considers the many valuable scientific uses of the body after death." ~ Library Journal

"One of the funniest and most unusual books of the year." ~ Entertainment Weekly

我不知道为什么豆瓣评分这么高,而我又出于好奇心买了这本书,有要的同学麻烦留下地址,不包邮赠送。 首先,作为一本翻译著作。实在是不敢恭维这位译者的水平,真是看到译文的行文结构就自己想脑补回英文。 其次,还是作为一本翻译,原文中作者用英文处处想要表达的幽默感,...

“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...

轻松有趣的小科普书,但貌似不太严谨(比如涉及到中医的部分)
