""An Odd Kind of Fame" is a meticulously researched and fascinating
chapter in the history of neuroscience. It tells the story of
Phineas Gage--perhaps the most famous brain-injured person--whose
fate has been continually interpreted and misinterpreted ever since
an iron rod passed through his brain in 1848."--Charles G. Gross,
Professor of Psychology, Princeton University
"I highly recommend An Odd Kind of Fame to anyone interested in the
history of neuroscience."-- Randolph W. Evans, MD, "Journal of the
American Medical Assocation"
"Macmillan sees many inconsistencies in Gage's story and seeks to
set the record straight..."-- "Science News"
"Malcolm Macmillan has long had an interest in the history of the
neurosciences. He is a thoughtful scholar who knows more about
Phineas Gage than anyone else."--Stanley Finger, Professor of
Psychology, Washington University, and Editor, Journal of the
History of the Neurosciences
"Malcolm Macmillan's history of the case of Phineas Gage is an
impressive achievement."-- James Beebe, "Metapsychology"
"Thanks to Macmillan, Phineas Gage can now take his appropriate
place in the history of medicine."-- Jonathon Erlen, "The Quarterly
Review of Biology"
"The book's success lies in...Macmillan's skill as a writer...and
his passion for collecting and presenting evidence."-- Ian Glynn,
"Nature"
"This book...is a historical tour de force..."-- Daniel Tranel,
Ph.D., "The New England Journal of Medicine"
"This fascinating book is as compelling as a detective story. I
could not put it down, and I learned so much. It is a brilliant
combination of serious scholarship and popular history that will
surely attract many readers."--Michael Ruse, Lucyle T. Werkmeister
Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University
