Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Finally read this, almost 20 years after it was published. While some of the science she reported on is no longer new or controversial, the book still holds up, mostly for the behind the scenes glimpses into the worlds of the study of decomposition, anatomy, and crashes. The chapter on the effect of bullets on the human body is upsetting when you think about the relaxation of gun laws (specifically assault rifles) since it the book was written.
