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 confirmation surgery, cadavers have
helped make history in their quiet way. "Delightful-though never
disrespectful" (Les Simpson, Time Out New York), Stiff investigates
the strange lives of our bodies postmortem and answers the
question: What should we do after we die? "This quirky, funny read
offers perspective and insight about life, death and the medical
profession. . . . You can close this book with an appreciation of
the miracle that the human body really is." -Tara Parker-Pope, Wall
Street Journal "Gross, educational, and unexpectedly
sidesplitting." -Entertainment Weekly
