Ladies, did you know that budding plastic surgeons hone their craft on severed human heads? Or that chickens, cows, and dead bodies alike reside on the farmlands of Texas? Or have you ever pondered the slippery precariousness of holding a still-beating human heart? These and other fascinating subjects about life after death– for cadavers, that is– are presented and dissected in this humorously morbid, informative book by acclaimed journalist and witty wordsmith Mary Roach. From gross anatomy labs to the history of body snatching, forensic studies to body disposal, Roach digs through the evolution of science’s sometimes sordid, often questionable, and frequently hilarious relationship with the dead.

Caution: Do not read while eating. Trust me.
