Stiff is 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. 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.
Fascinating glimpse into a part of life (after-life?) that most of us don't see or maybe even wish to see. Don't read on a full stomach or if you have the potential to be seriously grossed out easily!
