A Review of Stiff by Mary Roach Upon opening Stiff‚ the first thing that greets you is author Mary Roach’s biting wit. She starts the long journey of cadaver history by comparing death to a cruise‚ and it sets the tone for the book wonderfully. This book is one of the best nonfiction books I have read in a long time.

Heart Dissection Sheep have a four-chambered heart‚ as do humans. By studying a sheep heart you can learn about your own heart at the same time. 1. Identify the right and left sides of the heart. Look closely and on one side you will see a diagonal line of blood vessels that divide the heart. The half that includes all of the apex of the heart is the left side.

The Earthworms have setae in groups around or under their body. The setae‚ paired in groups on each segment‚ can be moved in and out to grip the ground or the walls of a burrow. Worms travel
