Summary:
"We think of
transplant
surgery
as one of the medical wonders of the modern world but it's a lot older than you think. As ancient as the pyramids, its
history
is even more surprising. Cultural historian Paul Craddock takes us on a journey - from sixteenth-century skin grafting to contemporary stem cell transplants - uncovering stories of experiments and operations performed by unexpected people in unexpected places. Bringing together philosophy, science and cultural
history
, 'Spare Parts : the
Story
of
Medicine
Through
the
History
of
Transplant
Surgery
' explores how
transplant
surgery
constantly tested the boundaries between human, animal and machine. It shows us that the
history
- and future - of
transplant
surgery
is tied up with questions not only about who we are, but also what we are, and what we might become."--Publisher's description.
