Przed Świętami nie mam za wiele czasu, więc chociaż książka przeczytana już jakiś czas temu, piszę o niej dopiero dziś.
Sztywniak - Osobliwe życie nieboszczyków.
Nie, to nie horror ani nie kryminał, to książka o przygodach zmarłych w świecie nauki.
A konkretniej, do czego mogą być uzyte ciała, które ktoś w ramach ostatniej woli ofiaruje na cele naukowe.
Albo ciała, po które nikt się nie zgłosił, a przepisy danego państwa mówią, że wtedy można je sobie wziąć i na przykład poćwiczyć sekcję zwłok albo zabieg operacyjny - taka operacja nie może się nie udać, skoro pacjent już nie żyje😉
Wiedzieliście, że chirurdzy plastyczni ćwiczą na obciętych głowach?
Ja nie wiedziałam.
Ale z dwojga złego lepiej chyba, by lekarz pomylił się na martwym, niż na żywym pacjencie🤔
Jest też rozdział poświęcony Trupiej Farmie, ciałom w służbie kryminologii i szukaniu przyczyny wypadków lotniczych.
Wiedzieliście, że jeśli ciało spada z dużej wysokości, to po drodze jest rozbierane?
Nawet jeśli się skacze z mostu Golden Gate, dociera się na dół w stroju mocno niekompletnym (i niestety panowie przeważnie pokazują, co mają w spodniach) prawie zawsze traci się też tylne kieszenie i buty.
Właśnie na tej podstawie ustala się miejsce przełamania samolotu - sprawdza się, którzy pasażerowie są ubrani, a którzy nadzy, i gdzie kto siedział. Ta grupa która spada razem z nieuszkodzoną częścią kadłuba pozostaje w ubraniu, osoby siedzące w części, która rozpadła się w powietrzu, docierają na ziemię nagie.
Jest też rozdział o balsamowaniu, o kanibalizmie leczniczym i zwykłym, oraz o nowych propozycjach zastępujących kremację
Wrażenie robi siedem stron dołączonej bibliografii. Autorka osobiście pojechała w opisywane miejsca, zweryfikowała też przy okazji kilka urban legends.

The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2011

Came for Mary Roach, stayed for Olivers Sacks (Face-Blind), Deborah Blum (The Chemist’s War) and Burkhad Bilger (Nature’s Spoils about Sandor Katz).

“ Live cultures have been part of his healing, he said. They may even help prevent diseases like cancer. But that doesn’t mean that kombucha will cure your diabetes. It doesn’t mean that sauerkraut cured my AIDS.” - Sandor Katz. (from Nature’s Spoils by Burkhad Bilger)

"It was an odd little chemical, the laboratory equivalent of a jazz musician’s riff. “It was pure chemist’s joy,” Chen said. “Homemade, random, and clearly made for no particular purpose.” (From The Treatment by Malcolm Gladwell")

51:100 Mary Roach “STIFF” The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers…..

An elaborate description of what people do to dead bodies.. From scientific researches, medical and in extreme circumstances as food….

#MaryRoach aproach the topic in a way that anyone can understand.

I’ve always wanted to be cremated when I die and this book tells you that there are more to do than the usual burying and cremation of the body when you die. Donation of body when you die is not always a topic you usually hear but this bodies had always been a great contributor in the development in human evulution specially on medicine.

Current #scienceseptember read. I know, this wasn’t even on my TBR, but a friend recent sent me $11 “for a coffee at my favorite local coffee shop” as a thank you for something. Then I was out running errands and thought, hey, I am right by the Barnes and Noble, does Starbucks count? And then I thought, hey, what if I go buy myself a book and then go get a free coffee at Horrocks? Reader, that’s what I did. So I headed straight for the science section and decided to look for a Mary Roach book, since I liked Stiff so much. And that’s how I ended ip reading about sex while sitting at my car at the oil change place.

Ever wonder what happens to your body when you “donate it to science”? In Stiff - The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Mary Roach gives us a detailed look at what happens.
Did you that you might end up in a gross anatomy lab in a medical school? Your head might go to a plastic surgery workshop. You could end up as a crash-test cadaver. You might spend some time at the Body Farm (lots of authors have included the Body Farm in stories) Or you could be in a test for new body disposal methods 🦀 😮 Once you sign your name, you really don’t know (nor do you care at that point) Roach injects humor where she can and always honest about a topic that is taboo to some. The first half of the book was pretty interesting - the last half dragged a bit. I listened to the audiobook so I’m sure I got some odd looks from other drivers. 🥴 There’s one thing mentioned about a person who helps out the med school students - the job title cracked me up 😂👩🏼‍🔬🤦🏼‍♂️ Some interesting nonfiction and will give you some good stories 😄 #stiffthecuriouslivesofhumancadavers #maryroach #nonfiction #audiobook #libbyapp #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookaddict #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #macabre (at Ballentine, South Carolina)

Quote by Mary Roach

I don’t fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.

Ah. Well… I attended Juilliard… I’m a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I’ve seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT… NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY… NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I’m qualified?

I needed a quick break from my “Love is Love” project and honestly couldn’t ask for an easier project to do while on a plane and listening to “Spook” by Mary Roach.
