Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Queer, the Quaint, the Quizzical: A Cabinet for the Curious Custom doth often reason overrule, And only serves for reason to the fool. - Rochester. A moon dial, with Napier's bones, And sev'ral constellation stones. - Butler. He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin, That touch'd the ruff that touch'd Queen Bess's chin. - Wolcot's Peter Pindar. Stretching away on the one hand into the deep gloom of barbaric ignorance, and on the other hand into the full radiance of Christian intelligence, and, grounding itself strongly in the instinctive recognition by all men of the intimate relations between the seen and the unseen, the empire of superstition possesses all ages of human history and all stages of human progress. - Nimno. Matrons who toss the cup, and see The grounds of fate in grounds of tea. - Churchill. I have known the shooting of a star to spoil a night's rest; I have seen a man in love grow pale upon the plucking of a merry-thought. There is nothing so inconsiderable which may not appear dreadful to an imagination that is filled with omens and prognostics. - Addison.

Download or read book The Corpse written by Christine Quigley and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the centuries, different cultures have established a variety of procedures for handling and disposing of corpses. Often the methods are directly associated with the deceased's position in life, such as a pharaoh's mummification in Egypt or the cremation of a Buddhist. Treatment by the living of the dead over time and across cultures is the focus of this study. Burial arrangements and preparations are detailed, including embalming, the funeral service, storage and transport of the body, and forms of burial. Autopsies and the investigative process of causes of deliberate death are fully covered. Preservation techniques such as cryonic suspension and mummification are discussed, as well as a look at the "recycling" of the corpse through organ donation, donation to medicine, animal scavengers, cannibalism, and, of course, natural decay and decomposition. Mistreatments of a corpse are also covered.
