Book Description
What if somebody harbored a grudge against you and that somebody held a position of power within the criminal justice system? Suppose that person would stop at nothing to further their vendetta, even enlisting co-conspirators in various state agencies. This is the true story of one man's journey through a crooked and corrupt justice system, and how the people within that system deviously collaborated to destroy his life. Full of deceit, vindictiveness and depravity, Facets of Deception is the story of Graham L. Stowe. The real story. It's easy to retrieve online court records, read an article or view a news clip and be duped into believing you know the facts. Only one side of the story is represented in those outlets and the truth gets lost. Graham isn't perfect, but he is not the monster the media has portrayed. Over a decade ago, certain events occurred and Graham was sentenced to almost 40 years in a state mental institution-an astonishing term. He is not dangerous. He is not mentally ill and he was described as the most trusted patient at the facility... until he escaped, becoming a fugitive. There are many who do not want this book published. They fear being exposed for their roles in this conspiracy. For many years, out of respect for some, Graham kept his story to himself. The time has come for his side to be known. Graham offers full disclosure. Dozens of confidential documents have been included in this book to prove the truth. Graham's is an important story. It takes place in Wisconsin and could happen to anyone...even you!

War hero and daughter to two Houses, Kira is just beginning to learn how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Duke Wolff was a flawless specimen of the American clubman -- a product of Yale and the OSS, a one-time fighter pilot turned aviation engineer.

Machine Conversations
Author: Yorick Wilks
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475756879
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Machine Conversationsis a collection of some of the best research available in the practical arts of machine conversation. The book describes various attempts to create practical and flexible machine conversation - ways of talking to computers in an unrestricted version of English or some other language. While this book employs and advances the theory of dialogue and its linguistic underpinnings, the emphasis is on practice, both in university research laboratories and in company research and development. Since the focus is on the task and on the performance, this book provides some of the first-rate work taking place in industry, quite apart from the academic tradition. It also reveals striking and relevant facts about the tone of machine conversations and closely evaluates what users require. Machine Conversations is an excellent reference for researchers interested in computational linguistics, cognitive science, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, human computer interfaces and machine learning.

Dying to be Ill
Author: Marc D. Feldman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351663534
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
Most of us can recall a time when we pretended to be sick to reap the benefits that go along with illness. By playing sick, we gained sympathy, care, and attention, and were excused from our responsibilities. Though doing so on occasion is considered normal, there are those who carry their deceptions to the extreme. In this book, Dr. Marc Feldman describes people’s strange motivations to fabricate or induce illness or injury to satisfy deep emotional needs. Doctors, family members, and friends are lured into a costly, frustrating, and potentially deadly web of deceit. From the mother who shaves her child’s head and tells her community he has cancer, to the co-worker who suffers from a string of incomprehensible "tragedies," to the false epilepsy victim who monopolizes her online support group, "disease forgery" is ever-present in the media and in many people’s lives. In Dying to be Ill: True Stories of Medical Deception, Dr. Feldman, with the assistance of Gregory Yates, has chronicled this fascinating world as well as the paths to healing. With insight developed from 25 years of hands-on experience, Dying to be Ill is sure to stand as a classic in the field.

From Lying to Perjury
Author: Laurence R. Horn
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110733811
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
This volume provides new insights on lying and (intentionally) misleading in and out of the courtroom, a timely topic for scholarship and society. Not all deceptive statements are lies; not every lie under oath amounts to perjury—but what are the relevant criteria? Taxonomies of falsehood based on illocutionary force, utterance context and speakers’ intentions have been debated by linguists, moral philosophers, social psychologists and cognitive scientists. Legal scholars have examined the boundary between actual perjury and garden-variety lies. The fourteen previously unpublished essays in this book apply theoretical and empirical tools to delineate the landscape of falsehood, half-truth, perjury, and verbal manipulation, including puffery, bluffing, and bullshit. The papers in this collection address conceptual and ethical aspects of lying vs. misleading and the correlation of this opposition with the Gricean pragmatic distinction between what is said and what is implicated. The questions of truth and lies addressed in this volume have long engaged the attention of scholars in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, organizational research, and the law, and researchers from all these fields will find this book of interest.
