Book excerpt: Someone Should Pay for Your Pain by Franz Nicolay is about a singer-songwriter named Rudy Pauver, his conflicted relationship with a successful former protege, and a young niece who wants to travel with him and whose surprise appearance forces a reckoning with himself and his past. This illuminating anti-hero story propels the characters through time, story, and philosophical discourse with sharp asides, short stories, dialogues, and monologues. A musician's book for the punk scene insider, with so many truths that "punks" (whatever) have had to reconcile or deny, that it's like holding up a mirror and seeing something beautiful and ugly. Engrossing and compelling, the novel wrestles with the "punk ethos" and features a punk/rock-inflected inside look at life on the road: magical, honest, and pure, but also destructive, dangerous, and out of control. The author, a writer and musician best known for playing the accordion and piano in The World/Inferno Friendship Society and keyboards in The Hold Steady, was once named #1 of the top ten accordionists in punk rock. He is also the author of the travel book The Humorless Ladies of Border Control: Touring the Punk Underground from Belgrade to Ulaanbaatar (a New York Times "Season's Best Travel Books" pick) and is a lecturer in writing about music at UC Berkeley.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting as many as 48 million people in this country alone. It can demoralize and depress both patient and family, especially when there is no effective pain control and no hope for relief. Improperly managed, chronic pain can lead to substance abuse (usually painkillers) and to acute psychological and emotional distress. Pain begets stress and stress begets pain in a wretched downward spiral. Silver reviews the causes and characteristics of chronic pain and explores its impact on individual family relationships and on the extended family, covering such issues as employment, parenting, childbearing and inheritance, and emotional health. Silver treats aspects of chronic pain not covered in a typical office visit: how men and women differ in their experience of chronic pain, the effect of chronic pain on a toddler's behavior or an older child's performance in school, the risks of dependence on and addiction to pain medications, and practical ways for relatives beyond the immediate family circle to offer help and support to the person in pain.

Book excerpt: An exploration of why people all over the world love to engage in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performers Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers. At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better--a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Leigh Cowart would know: they are not just a researcher and science writer--they're an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. And they have a few questions: Why do people engage in masochism? What are the benefits and the costs? And what does masochism have to say about the human experience? By participating in many of these activities themselves, and through conversations with psychologists, fellow scientists, and people who seek pain for pleasure, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain--a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.

Book excerpt: Chronic pain is the number one complaint heard by physicians across our nation. From low back to the pain of cancer, from the highly publicized fibromyalgia to chronic fatique syndrome, and from the common headache to bursitis...pain is something all Americans can relate to. However, in the highly regulated world of healthcare, are American's getting their collective monies worth of attention and care for their pain complaints. The authors feel the answer is generally, NO. How many of us have said, Nobody takes my pain seriously, or They say I shouldn't be hurting and that it's all in my head. How often are patients sent off to see psychologists or psychiatrists when physicians hit the wall and are unable to treat a patient's pain? What the authors want you to know is that there is a dirty little secret inside the healthcare system that, through ignorance, arrogance, and greed, perpetrates tremendous injustice upon individuals suffering with chronic pain. And, like the dirtly little secret, some doctors and insurance companies work hard to sweep patients with chornic pain under the rug. The problem has nothing to do with the latest approaches to diagnosis and treatment. It has nothing to do with discovering a way to ease human suffering and restore quality of life. Modern medicine already knows how to do that. Rather it has to do with something far more basic: compassion and the true desire to help. There are forces at work which, under the guise of healthcare, actively undermine efforts to help people with pain. Validate Your Pain exposes those secrets and arms the reader with information needed to maneuver through the healthcare minefields -- so they can get the help they deserve.
