Body of Work: Meditations on Mortality from the Human Anatomy Lab
Christine Montross

In her book, Body of Work, Montross tells of a first-year med student's struggle with human dissection. She describes the process, the philosophy and the history of the practice. If you are interested in the medical field, I highly recommend this book. Montross offers a glimpse into the process of becoming a doctor as well as the philosophical questions it entails. Definitely not for the squeamish!
I found this book very interesting and it really made me think. Recommended for teens 14+, 4 out of 5 stars.
