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.

读后感
“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...
评分 评分大概是因为低低的窃笑引人注意，因此偶尔有人会问我：“你在看什么书啊？” 短暂的扭捏之后，我只能实话实说。“一本关于尸体的书。”有时候，我还会把书皮展示给对方看，希望能延续谈话。但是，谈话往往就此终结。我会得到一个意味深长的眼神，这种眼神并不算得上友好。 幸...
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...

超赞的科普读物，而且居然能读到笑出声。只是看完这本书，我只萌生一个念头：不想把自己的遗体捐掉。
评分Sad to see she actually tries so hard.
评分语言幽默，结构清楚，有不少一手资料，态度也很中立诚恳
评分重口味的一本书。
评分Entertaining for sure, but can get draggy at certain points. Still overall a good read
