Errors often occur in books, so if you read something which is different from what you believed, do not automatically assume that you are wrong. Errors do occur in books. Proof‑reading a book of about 1000 pages is not an easy task! Check in another book or ask your tutor.

 

References and Reading Material

Below is a list of great reads on the subject. One of my favourites is ‘The Culture of Pain’ by David Morris. It is over 25 years old and yet still contemporary. Very readable too.
