These widespread anxieties within and beyond medicine over organ scarcity inspire seemingly futuristic trajectories in other fields. Especially prominent, longstanding, and promising domains include xenotransplantation, or efforts to cull fleshy organs from animals for human use, and bioengineering, a field peopled with "tinkerers" intent on designing implantable mechanical devices, where the heart is of special interest. Scarcity, suffering, and sacrifice are pervasive and, seemingly, inescapable themes that frame the transplant imaginary. Xenotransplant experts and bioengineers at work in labs in five Anglophone countries share a marked determination to eliminate scarcity and human suffering, certain that their efforts might one day altogether eliminate any need for parts of human origin. A premise that drives Sharp's compelling ethnographic project is that high-stakes experimentation inspires moral thinking, informing scientists' determination to redirect the surgical trajectory of transplantation and, ultimately, alter the integrity of the human form.   606 $aEthnology$zUnited States 606 $aMedical anthropology$zUnited States 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 610 $aanimals. 610 $abioengineering. 610 $ablack market. 610 $acurrent debate. 610 $adebates in science. 610 $adesigning implantable mechanical devices. 610 $adetermination. 610 $aethics. 610 $aexperimentation. 610 $afleshy organs from animals for human use. 610 $ahealth care. 610 $ahuman body. 610 $ahuman form. 610 $ahuman parts. 610 $ahuman suffering. 610 $alife and death. 610 $amarketing of organs. 610 $amedicine. 610 $amoral thinking. 610 $amorality. 610 $aorgan donation. 610 $aorgan scarcity. 610 $aorgan transplant. 610 $aorgan transplantation. 610 $aorgans. 610 $ascarcity. 610 $ascience. 610 $asurgery. 610 $asurgical. 610 $atheoretical. 610 $atreatment. 610 $axenotransplantation. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aMedical anthropology 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc.$xSocial aspects 676 $a617.954 686 $aSOC002000$aSOC000000$aMED022000$2bisacsh 700 $aSharp$b Lesley Alexandra$01176470 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790521103321 996 $aThe transplant imaginary$93749221 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06598nam 2200625 450 001 9910823788903321 005 20230124190250.0 010 $a0-19-153955-4 010 $a0-19-161583-8 035 $a(CKB)2670000000152385 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH24089798 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000632185 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12204935 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000632185 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10600361 035 $a(PQKB)10116016 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5824902 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC800886 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL800886 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11198050 035 $a(OCoLC)778338911 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000152385 100 $a20190731h20112005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe artful universe expanded /$fJohn D.

Barrow explored the close ties between our aesthetic appreciation and the basic nature of the Universe, challenging the commonly held view that our sense of beauty is entirely free and unfettered. It looked at some of the unexpected ways in which the structure of the Universe, its laws, its environments, and above all its underlying mathematical structure imprints itself on our thoughts, our aesthetic preferences, and our views about the nature of things. The exploration embraced topics such as perspective; the size of things and the origins of aesthetics; computer art (posing the question: is it art?); and the origins of our susceptibility to music. Life sales of the hardback totalled just over 25,000 copies. The study of the evolutionary and mathematical underpinnings of our aesthetic sense, and our understanding of the nature and scale of the universe has grown over the past decade, with developments in evolutionary psychology, and in cosmology. This paperback of the revised edition (OUP, 2005) contains eight new sections covering the recent discoveries of extrasolar planets, fashionable postmodernist rejection of science as uncovering objective reality, growing understanding of key ratios appearing in biological relationships, and studies of the underlying mathematical structure of a Pollock painting. 606 $aArt$xHistory 606 $aNature (Aesthetics) 606 $aArt and science 615 0$aArt$xHistory. 615 0$aNature (Aesthetics) 615 0$aArt and science. 676 $a111.85 700 $aBarrow$b John D.$f1952-2020,$01173984 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823788903321 996 $aThe artful universe expanded$93929745 997 $aUNINA
