Born Liars
Author: Ian Leslie
Publisher: House of Anansi
ISBN: 1770890289
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Lying is an intrinsic part of our social fabric, but it is also a deeply problematic and misunderstood aspect of what makes us human. Ian Leslie takes us on a fascinating journey that makes us question not only our own relationship to the truth, but also virtually every daily encounter we have. On the way he dissects the history of the lie detector, how parents affect their children’s attitude to lying (and vice versa), Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the philosophical ambiguity of telling the truth, Bill Clinton’s presentational prowess, Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth, and why we should be wary of anyone with more than 150 Facebook friends. Born Liars is thought-provoking, anecdotally driven narrative nonfiction at its best. Ian Leslie’s intoxicating blend of anthropology, biology, cultural history, philosophy, and popular psychology belies a serious central message: that humans have evolved and thrived in large part because of their ability to deceive.

Book Description
ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

Bigfoot
Author: Matthew Johnson
Publisher: Publication Consultants
ISBN: 1594337055
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Although the Bigfoot phenomena has fascinated humanity around the world throughout history, the Patterson/Gimlin film, shot in 1967, most certainly caught the world's attention like never before. However, what most people don't know is that the famous film also kicked off a carefully thought out game plan implemented by the Bigfoot Forest People in order to accomplish a life-saving agenda. Regarding the Bigfoot Forest People, there are never any accidents. They do everything with intention and purpose. On July 1, 2000, Dr. Matthew A. Johnson and his family encountered a Bigfoot on the mountain above the Oregon Caves National Park. Since that world famous encounter occurred, Dr. Johnson spent sixteen years of his life pursuing the Bigfoot Forest People with persistence and relentless commitment. He transitioned from an aggressive “Old School” paparazzi money shot researcher, to a habituator, and on to an interactionist. Bigfoot: A Fifty Year Journey Come Full Circle ties several stories and experiences together to help explain who the Bigfoot Forest People are, where they come from, and why they're here.In short, there is no other Bigfoot book out this like this one. You are one hundred percent guaranteed that this book will overwhelm you with the truth and promises to blow your mind in the process. The Bigfoot research community is going to change in a major positive direction.
