In The Pain Chronicles, a singular and deeply humane work, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages-from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging-to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas that prevent proper treatment, to devastating effect. ![]() ![]() It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease.

While society likes to believe that the criminal justice system always gets it right, the reality is that it is inherently flawed. ![]() As you read, you’ll learn how barristers must often present cases with incomplete information, how untrained volunteers once decided who goes to jail, and how politicians and the media tend to paint the criminal justice system in an inaccurate light. From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses, and more, the Secret Barrister reveals the best and worst of humanity and how the broken system affects all who enter it. For instance, how do you defend a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? Or what do you say when someone is sentenced to 10 years who you believe to be innocent? And why do they wear those stupid wigs? Well, the Secret Barrister aims to show you what it’s really like inside the criminal justice system and why it matters. The world of the Secret Barrister is full of stories, oftentimes funny and ridiculous, but ultimately life-changing. The job of a barrister requires a variety of skills, whether it’s being a social worker, a relationship counselor, an accountant, a coffee supplier, and even an accountant, a barrister must wear many hats inside and outside of the courtroom. ![]() ![]() Many times I'd hear him say, "You think Jesus ever wore a tie?

That still meant picking us up every Sunday for a matinee and, if he had the money, an early dinner somewhere. Years later I would hear my father say the divorce had left him dating his children. ![]() Since leaving our mother, Pop had lived in a few places, but we rarely saw them and never slept there.
