Description: Very Good. 8th printing hardcover with dustjacket 2002 Houghton Mifflin Co. Only light shelfwear to jacket. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. 86 pages; Index; Resources; Glossary; black-and-white and color illustrations and photos. Language: English. For ages 9-up. 'Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish, Vermont, in 1848 when a 13-pound iron rod was shot through his brain. Miraculously, ... read more
"This thorough book, for ages 10 and up, offers a glimpse into the life of the famous subject as well as great science info on the brain, a bit of science history, and a bit of investigation into some of the mysteries surrounding Phineas Gage after his injury. The format is very easy to follow, and there are great supporting photographs and diagrams. The author avoided turning the story into a science textbook and instead manages to adopt an interesting story-telling style when necessary to keep us engaged. The modern science techniques detailed confirm just how "lucky" Gage was to survive, and what his injury taught the medical world about the human brain."
"Very interesting but definitely not an easy read. This book tells the true story of a man who had a steel rod impaled through his head and survived. It also looks at the science behind how he could survive and the reasons for the personality changes he underwent. This is on a middle school reading list, but the science is a stretch for their comprehension."
"This is the bizarre medical story of a construction forman who lived another 10 years after a 13-pound iron rod shot through his brain. In the book, the history of microbiology, phrenology (study of the skull for personality traits), and 19th century medicine are explored. This short (96 pages) book would make a great non-fiction choice for a book report on a strange piece of history. (YA 362.1 Fle) - Marian"
