Stiff: The curious lives of human cadavers/Mary Roach 304 pgs.Human cadavers are quite a valuable resource and used in lots of ways, medical research, organ donors, tons of other scientific research. Some of the other research is hard to read about if you have a weak stomach. Mary Roach has a way of telling the story that makes it a little less offensive to the sensitive and pretty damn funny for those with a humor bone. I always learn a lot when I read one of Mary's books and that is why I'm on a quest to read them all. The set isn't that big yet be we hope more will be added soon. If you are a curious type and like science even a little bit, try reading something by Mary Roach. Oh yea, then leave your body to science.
