Never...now leave me alone or I shall taunt you a second time......
Now I have to take a look at Librarything--lol. I love free books and I despise Goodreads, so this works for meNo, the selection can be quite slim. But, I almost always get a book each month at Librarything. I wasn't having such good luck at Goodreads.
Everyone should read The American Way of Death. It will definitely have you thinking differently about the funeral industry.
I read a while back that there is another body farm now, somewhere in the southwest (can't remember which state, but I suspect NV), so they can study the effects of a hot, dry climate on cadavers. This stuff fascinates me, too.Patricia Cornwell has also written about the Body Farm in her Kay Scarpetta series.
I found the book about the actual farm so interesting...how it came to be and how much it has helped in investigations.
....when I was a student nurse, we were granted the privilege of touring the cadaver lab at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.....it was fascinating from a pure anatomical standpoint to see human bodies in various stages of dissection, but then-there were the platforms where bodies that had been donated to the program lay peacefully in their shrouds, awaiting their turn with the soon to be physicians....each one had a large sign at the foot of their biers that gave their names, ages at death and what their occupations had been....part of the reasoning behind it was to allow the students to see how different jobs had altered the bodies inner physiology, but-and most importantly-according to the gentleman who ran the lab, was so that those that dealt with the bodies would never EVER forget that these had been real people with real lives and were to be accorded the respect of same....not to act like they were just inanimate lumps of study material....I read a while back that there is another body farm now, somewhere in the southwest (can't remember which state, but I suspect NV), so they can study the effects of a hot, dry climate on cadavers.

I always thought it would be a good ideal to do this. Since my family members have denied my request to eat me after I pass, Never knew them before to pass up a free meal.....when I was a student nurse, we were granted the privilege of touring the cadaver lab at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.....it was fascinating from a pure anatomical standpoint to see human bodies in various stages of dissection, but then-there were the platforms where bodies that had been donated to the program lay peacefully in their shrouds, awaiting their turn with the soon to be physicians....each one had a large sign at the foot of their biers that gave their names, ages at death and what their occupations had been....part of the reasoning behind it was to allow the students to see how different jobs had altered the bodies inner physiology, but-and most importantly-according to the gentleman who ran the lab, was so that those that dealt with the bodies would never EVER forget that these had been real people with real lives and were to be accorded the respect of same....not to act like they were just inanimate lumps of study material....
