About this book
Mary Roach follows the human body after death through the places where it is put to use.
Chapters cover surgical practice on cadavers, body snatching and early dissection, human decay, crash-impact testing, aircraft accident investigation, military experiments and their ethics, and newer ways of disposing of remains. The tone is curious and often funny.
