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
我承认，当我的小伙伴们发现这本书的关键词是“尸体”时有一瞬间的确惊呆了。在读这本书之前，我对尸体用途的最初了解来自学医的一位朋友，当然那也许是最普通的用途，医学解剖教学。其次，就是各种罪案美剧中的法医学鉴证了。也许，罪案美剧里的尸体并不能归并到美妙的“奇异...
评分我们赤裸裸的来到这个世界，带来了欢喜和新生；也将赤裸裸的离开这个世界，留下了伤悲，还有一具躯体。我们或许都会在人生得某个时点想过我们的灵魂将会以怎样的方式离开这个世界，但对于我们死之后的遗体，你是否也想过以何种方式“毁尸灭迹”回归自然呢？ 灵魂美化了人类，就...
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...
