HTML:<p><b>This program is read by the author.<br /> Paul Craddock's <i>Spare Parts</i> offers an original look at the history of medicine itself through the rich, compelling, and delightfully macabre story of transplant surgery from ancient times to the present day.<br /></b><b><i>How did an architect help pioneer blood transfusion in the 1660's?</i></b><br /> <i><b>Why did eighteenth-century dentists buy the live teeth of poor children?</b></i><br /> <i><b>And what role did a sausage skin and an enamel bath play in making kidney transplants a reality?</b></i><br /> We think of transplant surgery as one of the medical wonders of the modern world. But transplant surgery is as ancient as the pyramids, with a history more surprising than we might expect. Paul Craddock takes us on a journey - from sixteenth-century skin grafting to contemporary stem cell transplants - uncovering stories of operations performed by unexpected people in unexpected places. Bringing together philosophy, science and cultural history, <i>Spare Parts</i> explores how transplant surgery constantly tested the boundaries between human, animal, and machine, and continues to do so today.<br /> Witty, entertaining, and at times delightfully macabre, <i>Spare Parts</i> shows us that the history - and future - of transplant surgery is tied up with questions about not only who we are, but also <i>what</i> we are, and what we might become.<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.</b></p>.
