Stiff is quite the interesting book. In the first chapter the author talks about the human head. She goes through the many processes that anatomy students go through. She also discusses how people who work with cadavers cannot learn to personalize with them. They have to think of them as simply that: cadavers. In the second chapter she discusses the “crimes of anatomy.” She tells how anatomy began, and how it used to be frowned upon. The only cadavers aloud to practice on were people killed out of punishment for their wrongdoing. In the next chapter she talks about how cadavers are used as crash dummies. This book is really gruesome, but quite interesting at the same time.
