I would like to recommend a book : Stiff the curious lives of human cadavers / Mary Roach
for those who love science and interesting odd reads. This book is grotesquely fascinating.

Mary Roach is facinating because she has done all of the research for this book.

I would love to know what others think.

1. Sounds interesting.
Is it about pathology or education?

4. More about how humans over the centuries have dealt
with cadavers, from past to present.

7. She is so good.
She also wrote Spook--about the afterlife
and
Bonk--about sex.
