|  | Border Crossing
A psychiatrist rescues a man from drowning, and it turns out to be an accused child murderer whom he once testified against. Over the years, he became unsure of his evidence. Now he is faced with the man he sent to jail--who wants to be taken on as a patient. In the course of the relationship between these two men, Barker explores the mind of a psychopath, and the way he has been formed by the moral tenor of our times. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

 | Phineas Gage by John Fleischman
A 13-pound iron rod shot through the brain of railroad construction foreman Phineas Gage in Vermont in 1848. He lived 11 more years, and was able to walk and talk and function as normally as he had in the past. But, as his doctor said, Gage was no longer Gage. His manner darkened; he became coarse and chaotic when he had been an affable, dependable person. The true story of a medical oddity that continues to intrigue doctors. Full-color photographs accompany the text. AUTHOR: John Fleischman
