"Compact &view of the roots of brain science"
Phineas Gage was a famous "medical figure" in the mid-19th century who played a role in the discovery of the makeup of the brain. This compact retelling of his history is a nice relief from the heavier & longer history books, and novels, I am accustomed to downloading. It is well told and well narrated, and it just the thing to whet your pallet for the next big book.

"Interested in all the gory details?"
Would you listen to Phineas Gage again? Why?I will listen to Phineas Gage again and again! In fact, I used this audio version with my 7th grade book group and the audio added so much to the story! We followed along using the print version to get all of the wonderful photos and diagrams that accompany the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Phineas Gage?The most memorable moment was when the students heard the account of the accident. The build up to the actual moment of the accident was great! The students were impressed by the detail, especially how far the tamping iron flew through the air!
Have you listened to any of Kevin Orton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?No, I haven't, but I'd listen to another of his performances.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No, we listened over a three week period.
