505 0  The vale of pain, the veil of pain : pain as metaphor -- 
       The spell of surgical sleep : pain as history -- Terrible 
       alchemy : pain as disease -- Finding a voice : pain as 
       narrative -- To cure the mind : pain as perception. 
520    Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle 
       with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading-edge 
       pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a 
       wide range of disciplines--science, history, religion, 
       philosophy, anthropology, literature, and art--Thernstrom 
       shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as 
       advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear.
