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

这个奇幻漂流,肯定是超过少年派。 今天改完几页书稿后,我很开心,我觉得,应该轻松一下,换换脑子,于是,我就抓起身后一本书来读——很多未读的书都在身后,主要是近便、好拿。这本,就是《人类尸体的奇异生活》。 当然只有果壳才出这样奇葩的书,但是,象我这样的果粉,...

这本书我基本上是晚上看的…… 先是被标题吸引,以为是本讲僵尸的文化学著作,看了才知道其实是说尸体的…… 有点标题党的意思。 书里还有很多不太准确的翻译,不过不会严重的影响阅读。 书本身是很有意思的,毕竟在中国我们很少有这方面的消息,但是中国制造却和在任何领域一...

这无疑是一本很好看的书。书名有很大的误导,以为是一本鬼怪小说。其实不然,要知道,我是鬼怪和科普都很热爱的好小孩。 作者是一位身在美国的女人。古怪的是,为什么这种书的作者和读者都是女性居多?而且这个作者的老公也是那种无论对活人肢体还是死人肢体都非常敏感的男性。...

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...
