  In 2011 Jacob Dunne threw a single punch that ended another man’s life. Sentenced to prison for manslaughter, he served fourteen months of a custodial sentence. On his release, he found himself homeless, unemployed and struggling to find a sense of purpose. But with the help of others, and with the encouragement of his victim’s parents, he managed to get his life back on track. 
  Right From Wrong follows the course of Jacob’s life, beginning on a council estate in Nottingham. Beset by problems at home and at school, Jacob drifted into drug-related gang culture, drinking heavily and fighting for fun before a fateful night changed the course of his life. Unflinching in its account of Jacob’s guilt and shame, this book will reveal how Jacob used the experience to turn things around. He has been actively involved with Restorative Justice programmes including the Forgiveness Project, has reconciled with those he has hurt, has earned a first-class degree in Criminology and become a husband and father. 
  Jacob’s story is in some ways unique, but it is also reflective of the experiences of young working-class men and boys across the country. By reflecting on his story, he hopes he might help people to avoid the kind of mistakes he made. In the process he points to the societal reforms needed in order to avoid an endless cycle of criminality and hopelessness. 
  Right From Wrong is a deeply humane and honest book, and an unflinching look at men’s mental health and emotions at a time when our awareness of these things is of crucial importance. 
  Jacob Dunne's Right From Wrong is a deeply personal and inspirational autobiography that delves into the societal issues of crime and law. This top-rated memoir is a testament to the power of self-help and societal reform, making it a must-read for those interested in social issues. 
  For fans of Joel Mciver (Fathers, Brothers, and Sons), Chris Ayres (War Reporting For Cowards), Dave Grohl (Beast), Nikki Sixx (The Heroin Diaries), and Mick Wall (Like a Bat Out of Hell).

  The Politics of Pain Medicine -...

  Chronic pain is a medical mystery, debilitating to patients and a source of frustration for practitioners. It often eludes both cause and cure and serves as a reminder of how much further we have to go in unlocking the secrets of the body. A new field of pain medicine has evolved from this landscape, one that intersects with dozens of disciplines and subspecialties ranging from psychology and physiology to anesthesia and chiropractic medicine. Over the past three decades, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have struggled to define this complex and often contentious field as they work to establish standards while navigating some of the most challenging philosophical issues of Western science. In The Politics of Pain Medicine: A Rhetorical-Ontological Inquiry, S. Scott Graham offers a rich and detailed exploration of the medical rhetoric surrounding pain medicine. Graham chronicles the work of interdisciplinary pain management specialists to found a new science of pain and a new approach to pain medicine grounded in a more comprehensive biospychosocial model. His insightful analysis demonstrates how these materials ultimately shape the healthcare community’s understanding of what pain medicine is, how the medicine should be practiced and regulated, and how practitioner-patient relationships are best managed. It is a fascinating, novel examination of one of the most vexing issues in contemporary medicine.

  Meet the brilliant mavericks who invented the future of medicine and saved the lives of millions. 
  The Essence of Invention tells the story of medical inventors who have laid the foundation for modern patient care, from the development of anesthesia and safe surgery to the advent of vaccines against smallpox, polio, and Covid-19, and how, through creativity and persistence, they have changed the world. 
   
  The same kind of energy that drove Van Gogh or the Beatles can manifest itself in medicine as inventiveness and the creation of new medical devices. The field may feel very different from what is traditionally considered a creative industry, but the fundamental motivation and aspiration to create and the conviction and resilience needed to do so are the same. 
   
  Dr. Murphy celebrates the creative energy of courageous men and women, honors their unique gifts, and explains how a culture of creativity and collaboration can and must be established around them to allow their talents to take flight.
