Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

A book about what happens to bodies donated to science and what we can learn from the dead. Probably not for those that are too squeamish. Somehow Mary Roach makes donating your body to science seem interesting, funny and almost cool. She easily tricks you into enjoying and laughing at a book that provides lots of (sometimes gross) facts and information about how dead bodies help the living more than we could imagine. Very clever and informative, Stiff makes you appreciate and admire those selfless enough to give their body to further science and help others even after they are no longer with us.
