Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
by Mary Roach
Mary Roach has written a fascinating book, but wow, my stomach was unprepared for some of the contents. Stiff is not for the squeamish. Or animal lovers. Roach documents (with great detail) some of the experiments run on human cadavers and the analogous experiments done on not-so-naturally-dead animals. The history of cadaver science apparently has many animal sacrifices. You've been warned.
I would have given a higher rating if the contents hadn't made me almost up-chuck my lunch when I was listening to the audiobook at work. Roach is a great journalist and her curiosity leads her to some really interesting stories. I'll have to check out one of her other books (preferably one with less corpses) so I can listen without overwhelming nausea.
