The beloved classic by best-selling scientific writer Mary Roach, now including a new epilogue.
For two millennia, cadavers have been used in science's most audacious experiments and bizarre endeavors, some knowingly and others unknowingly. 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. Cadavers have quietly made history with every new medical treatment, from gender confirmation surgery to heart transplants. Stiff explores the peculiar existence of our bodies after death and provides a response to the query: What should we do with our bodies after death?
