IRB Introduction #2: Stiff by Mary Roach

For the second marking period I am reading Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. I chose to read this because I was looking through a list of some of the best nonfiction books ever written and I recognized the title. My English teacher last year read a section of it to us and she recommended that we all read it. It is a book about dead bodies and what scientists do with them when those people chose to donate their bodies. Apparently it is humorous even though the book involves death, so I was curious and decided to read it. Hopefully I will learn from this book about how people can be useful even after they are dead.
