Please join us on Wednesday, August 5th, for a discussion of "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach.
About this Event

We will discuss Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach (2004). A New York Times Bestseller, Stiff is a fascinating, and sometimes humorous look at the realities of death. Explore what happens to our bodies after we die, and how for two thousand years cadavers have been involved in some of science’s biggest advancements from forensics to transportation safety research.

Each month, the Mount Auburn Book Club meets to discuss a selected work related to one of Mount Auburn’s many facets. Selections range from books on history, natural history, horticulture, art, architecture, preservation, and wildlife to books written by or about those now buried and commemorated here. Meet in Story Chapel. Free.
