S"tiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For two thousand years, cadavers--some willing, some unwittingly--have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. In this fascinating account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries and tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them.

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 评分作者旁征博引,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...
