Mary Roach

Journalist and former Salon.com columnist Mary Roach didn't leave readers and critics cold with her first book, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. In fact, the comical-yet-scientific look at the ""life"" of the dead body throughout history earned her a spot in the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers program.
