Spare Parts
Transplant surgery is seen as a modern medical wonder -- but it's a lot older than you think. In Spare Parts, cultural historian Paul Craddock unearths incredible untold stories, from Indian surgeons regrafting lost noses in the sixth century BC, to the seventeenth century architect who helped pioneer blood transfusions. Weaving together philosophy, science and cultural history, Spare Parts explores how transplant surgery has constantly tested the boundaries between human, animal and machine.
