(\"Burking\"--i.e., murder--was the alternative method of supplying \"stiffs\" to medical schools; it is covered here as well).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book recounts the practice of grave robbing for the medical education of American medical students and physicians during the late 1700s and 1800s in the US, why body snatching came about and how disinterment was done, and presents information on: efforts to prevent the practice, a group of professional grave robbers, and the European experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne M.
