<br/><br/> 'The many meanings of the heart are reflected in the diverse approaches adopted by the contributors, whether through the meticulous drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, an examination of how organ transplanation prompted questions about the true source of life, or through pop songs and religion. The book also highlights the newest developments in cardiac surgery and considers future alternatives, while interviews with surgeons and patients reveal professional and personal relationships with this miraculous and intriguing organ.'
