About this product

Product Information

In an attempt to find out what happens when people die, the author of "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that there is an afterlife.

Reviews
"The general reader's ideal emissary to the arcana of serious science. . . . Roach's writing has what science has so far failed to find: a divine spark." -- Malcolm Jones (Newsweek) "Dependably witty, especially when it ventures far into the ether. . . . [Roach] makes a clever investigator and a thoroughly entertaining, if skeptical, tour guide." -- Janet Maslin (New York Times) "Investigative reporting has no lighter, more irreverent spirit than Mary Roach. . . . is enormous fun." -- David A Walton (Pittsburgh Union-Tribune) "Surreal, fascinating, at times absurd and always hilarious, Mary Roach may not reveal the street address of our final destination, but in she makes it sound less like a morgue and more like a comedy club." -- Vince Darcangelo (Boulder Weekly) "Funny and smart... since she's a scientist at heart, she also lasers through the smoke and mirrors." -- People "Reading is like attending a lecture by a professor who is equal parts Groucho Marx and Stephen Jay Gould, both enlightening and entertaining." -- Dorman T. Schindler (Sunday Denver Post & Rocky Mountain News)

She has an interesting perspective!
Mary Roach obviously has a wicked sense of humor with a scientific approach in her study of the afterlife. Not a quick read as it has a ton research analysis. This will help believers and non believers to become a believer or a non believer.
