Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach is a witty and thought-provoking exploration of what happens to the human body after death. Blending science, history, and sharp curiosity, Roach takes readers into the often unseen world of cadaver research and the many ways donated bodies have shaped medicine, forensic science, and public safety.
Equal parts fascinating and respectfully irreverent, this book is ideal for readers who enjoy popular science with a human edge. Stiff turns an unusual subject into an engaging read, revealing surprising facts, ethical questions, and the real-world value of body donation.
