Imagine being able to hear for the first time, or see in
full-colour, or take your first steps on Earth. This incredible
book celebrates the remarkable achievements made in medical
engineering, and offers a glimpse of what the future might hold for
humanity. Pioneering technological breakthroughs have truly changed
lives. For some people, particularly those with disabilities,
recent advances have crossed the realms of the purely imaginable,
and reached a place of possibility. People with paraplegia can walk
again, those who are hearing impaired can listen to even the
faintest sounds, and some people with missing limbs can create
beautiful works of art. This phenomenal book is a celebration of
all that has been achieved so far, and a look at what might be
possible in the near future. Is it inevitable that technology will
surpass biology? From cochlear implants and pacemakers, to bionic
arms and legs, this empowering book also features spotlights on
pioneers including Paralympians Richard Whitehead and Blake Leeper,
and the world's first 'cyborg' Neil Harbisson.
