An illustrated review of Stiff, by Mary Roach.

There's no way to escape it. Far better to meet it head on. Mary Roach is our tour guide. She shows us where we can leave our luggage. Let's visit some of the places.

Body Farm

It's a special kind of person that wants to end up here.

How do bodies decompose? How do they go in the heat? How do they go in the cold?

Crash Test

They're not all dummies.

How does it go, ain't nothing like the real thing.

Bullet Corrosion

Your body on bullets.

Like the Body Farm, a great way to help forensic scientists.

Organ Donation

You don't need them.

And, they may or may not want them. But, if they're fresh...

Target Practice

The military takes aim.

Are the bullets doing their job? Do they tear through flesh? Do they break bone? Do the rupture cartilage?

Mortuary Science

Here's a way to be conventional without being conventional.

Let those in the industry get some hours in before they start sewing up orifices for real.

Land Mines

Nasty things.

When walking on a land mine, what shoes are best? You might be surprised.

Intubation

To save life.

If you've ever seen this, than you know you want it done right.

Plastic Surgery

Just the way you are.

Nose jobs and chin butts have come along way.

Fertilizer

True reincarnation

It starts with freeze drying.
