| Deepening Shade | Barbara Sourkes | The Deepening Shade is an elegant synthesis of the psychology of life-threatening illness. The book’s evocative power derives from the interweaving of clinical conceptualization with the words of patients and family members. Rather than focusing on death, Sourkes explores living with a life-threatening illness. |
| Many Sleepless Nights | Lee Gutkind | Many Sleepless Nights outlines the history of organ transplantation and tells the story of the large and complex medical teams behind the operation.

| Techniques for Observing Normal Child Behavior | Nancy Carbonara | A handbook of standard techniques for observing children’s behavior in nursery school settings -- it is also applicable to children in club groups, elementary school classrooms, and hospitals. |
| Uprooted Children | Robert Coles | A study that describes how black, white, and Mexican-American children of migrant families grow up in rural America under conditions of extreme hardship and how they come to terms with the world and themselves. |
| View from the Divide | Lee Gutkind | In the tradition of Lewis Thomas, Stephen J. Gould, and Oliver Sachs, this special double issue of Creative Nonfiction, the only exclusively nonfiction literary journal, demonstrates the many ways in which aspects of the scientific world—from biology, medicine, physics, and astronomy—can be captured and dramatized for a humanities-oriented readership.
