Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "Books on pain are pretty painful to read, in my experience. This one, in contrast, is the most enjoyable book on pain I have read in the past five years. In fact it is the only one I have read from cover to cover, which is itself perhaps and indication of its appeal and relevance. It contains much that is positive for both sufferers and carers. Wall puts pain in the perspective as an awareness of required action, much like hunger r thirst, and one that cannot be assessed or managed out of context." (from a review by Steve Yentis in J of the Royal Soc of Med). Hardcover in Fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket, 8vo, pages: viii,[ix-x],184. Black paper-covered boards, black shelf-back with spine titles in gold, index. First printing. Near-pristine copy (very light wear to dust jacket corners). Bookseller accession no.: 23993.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Near Fine First American Edition hardcover in Very Good dust jacket. Binding remains firm and square with clean interior pages free of markings or bookplates. Light shelf wear and mild spotting to jacket, including faint rubbing and a few small stains near edges and spine area. Text block clean with only minor signs of handling. A solid and presentable copy. Written by one of the world's leading pain researchers, this accessible yet sophisticated work explores the neurological, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of pain and suffering. Patrick Wall examines how pain functions within the nervous system, how perception shapes suffering, and why chronic pain remains one of medicine's most elusive challenges. The volume bridges neuroscience, medicine, psychology, and ethics in a concise and highly readable format. Part of the "Maps of the Mind" series, this work is particularly valuable for collectors and readers interested in neuroscience, medical history, neurology, psychology, pain management, and consciousness studies. Wall's pioneering contributions to pain theory ? especially the gate control theory of pain ? make this an important modern scientific text with enduring relevance. Carefully packed and shipped in a box. Shipped via USPS with tracking provided. International shipping available. Additional photographs available upon request. Please review photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Returns accepted within the AbeBooks 30-day return window. SCI 1b.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Pain is one of medicine's greatest mysteries. When farmer John Mitson caught his hand in a baler, he cut off his trapped hand and carried it to a neighbor. "Sheer survival and logic" was how he described it. "And strangely, I didn't feel any pain." How can this be? We're taught that pain is a warning message to be heeded at all costs, yet it can switch off in the most agonizing circumstances or switch on for no apparent reason. Many scientists, philosophers, and laypeople imagine pain to operate like a rigid, simple signaling system, as if a particular injury generates a fixed amount of pain that simply gets transmitted to the brain; yet this mechanistic model is woefully lacking in the face of the surprising facts about what people and animals do and experience when their bodies are damaged. Patrick Wall looks at these questions and sets his scientific account in a broad context, interweaving it with a wealth of fascinating and sometimes disturbing historical detail, such as famous characters who derived pleasure from pain, the unexpected reactions of injured people, the role of endorphins, and the power of placebo.He covers cures of pain, ranging from drugs and surgery, through relaxation techniques and exercise, to acupuncture, electrical nerve stimulation, and herbalism. Pain involves our state of mind, our social mores and beliefs, and our personal experiences and expectations. Stepping beyond the famous neurologic gate-control theory for which he is known, Wall shows that pain is a matter of behavior and its manifestation differs among individuals, situations, and cultures. "The way we deal with pain is an expression of individuality.".
