"Equal parts Groucho Marx and Stephen Jay Gould, both enlightening and entertaining."—Sunday Denver Post & Rocky Mountain News
The best-selling author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers now trains her considerable wit and curiosity on the human soul. What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's that—the million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?"… whether you're interested science, the afterlife or neither, Six Feet Over will amuse and entertain.

Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach

“Rich in dexterous innuendo, laugh-out-loud humor and illuminating fact. It’s compulsively readable.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review. The best-selling author of Stiff turns her outrageous curiosity and insight on the most alluring scientific subject of all: sex. The New Yorker dubbed Roach “the funniest science writer in the country.” OK, maybe there’s not a lot of competition. But even if there were thousands of science-humor writers, she would be the sidesplitting favorite. In a breezy tone in Roach describes erectile dysfunction among polygamists, penis cameras, relative organ sizes and enhancement devices, and dozens of other titillating subjects. Not to be missed: the martial art of yin diao gung (“genitals hanging kung fu”), monkey sex athletes, and the licensing of porn stars’ genitals for blow-up reproductions.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
W.W.Norton & C | 2004 | ISBN: 0393050939 | 305 pages | EPUB | 3 MB

"One of the funniest and most unusual books of the year….Gross, educational, and unexpectedly sidesplitting." — Entertainment Weekly
Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. In this fascinating, ennobling account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries—from the anatomy labs and human-sourced pharmacies of medieval and nineteenth-century Europe to a human decay research facility in Tennessee, to a plastic surgery practice lab, to a Scandinavian funeral directors' conference on human composting. In her droll, inimitable voice, Roach tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them.

Come comportarsi quando un alce ci attraversa la strada? Quando sorprendiamo un orso entrare in casa? O ci troviamo di fronte a un albero “pericoloso”? Non siamo mai stati troppo bravi, come specie, a condividere il Pianeta… Nell’antichità, quando gli animali “infrangevano la legge” venivano affidati ad avvocati e portati a processo. Esemplare il caso dei bruchi che nel 1659 furono denunciati per aver sconfinato, rubando dai frutteti della gente (ai bruchi fu ordinato di comparire in tribunale in un giorno prestabilito, dove sarebbe stata assegnata loro la rappresentanza legale. Ovviamente nessun bruco si presentò, ma il caso andò avanti lo stesso…); o del maiale processato per omicidio; o del giudice che nel XVI secolo concesse clemenza a una famiglia di talpe con prole a carico..

Mary Roach - Spettri. La vita dopo la morte secondo la scienza
Italian | 2018 | 346 pages | ISBN: 8842824690 | EPUB | 1,1 MB

Spiriti e spiritelli, anime e fantasmi, ombre ed ectoplasmi, presenze, apparizioni, spettri e reincarnazioni. Sono da sempre la materia effimera di sacerdoti, sciamani e fattucchiere, l'ombra fugace di una domanda che contiene e genera tutte le altre, che ha dato vita alla religione e alla filosofia, alla magia e alla spiritualità: esiste una vita dopo la morte? Ma cosa succede quando sono gli scienziati a porsi questa domanda? Cosa succede quando il metodo scientifico prova a trascendere i propri limiti, cercando una verità sperimentale nell'occulto? Per raccontare questa unione improbabile ma essenziale tra razionalità e mistero, Mary Roach incontra uomini che affermano di essersi reincarnati in corpi di bambini, entra nel tribunale in cui la testimonianza di un fantasma è stata ammessa come prova, avanza tra il fumo e gli specchi della stanza di un medium e in laboratori in cui si tenta di catturare l'energia della coscienza..
