I must admit I first heard of this book while watching Six Feet Under. It was given to David on the show. Well, it is a very interesting book. It goes into all types of uses of human cadaver from medical research to canibalism. It has all kinds of interesting hisorical info. I was especially intrigued by the part about the Guillotined head that appeared to hear his name!!!! (how is that for a teaser?) It is very engaging and humorous while still being respectful to the subjects.
I must warn you...this book is not for the squemish...there are detailed descriptions of decaying human flesh and so on. But, I would highly reccomend this book if you are curious about what happens to the body after death. Check it out!
