Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For two thousand years, cadavers--some willingly, some unwittingly--have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings.
Through engaging storytelling and witty prose, Roach delves into a wide range of topics related to cadavers, including the history of anatomical dissection, the process of body donation, and the ethical considerations surrounding the use of human remains. She also investigates alternative uses for cadavers, such as crash test dummies, ballistics testing, and even composting.
"Stiff" offers a blend of science, history, and dark humor, as Roach explores the often overlooked and taboo subject of death and decomposition. Her writing is both informative and entertaining, making complex scientific concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds.
