"In this new book, Brian King unravels the full extent of the deceit that surrounds us. He explores the deceptions of obvious candidates such as politicians, ad-men, journalists and second-hand car salesmen as well as the subtler faslehoods of our partners and children, including the white lies we all tell each other to preserve our precious self-esteem." "He also looks at some of the great liars of history, reveals how scientists can observe the brain as it suppresses the awkward truth in favour of the convenient lie, and advises on the best techniques for spotting a lie through body language and verbal slips." "The child who denies raiding the biscuit jar is acting on the same instinct as the prime minister who lies about weapons of mass destruction ..."--BOOK JACKET.

In the Rue Morgue, the jungles of Tarzan, the fables of Aesop, and outer space, the apes in these seventeen fantastic tales boldly go where humans dare not. Including a foreword from Rupert Wyatt, the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this provocative anthology delves into our fascination with and fear of our simian cousins. “Evil Robot Monkey” introduces a disgruntled chimp implanted with a chip that makes him cleverer than both his cohort and humans alike. In “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” a murder mystery unravels with the discovery of a hair that does not appear quite human. Merging steampunk with slapstick, “The Ape-Box Affair” has a not-so-ordinary orangutan landing on Earth in a spherical flying ship—where he is promptly mistaken for an alien. King Kong sets a terrible example with booze and Barbie dolls in “Godzilla’s 12-Step Program.” If you’ve ever wondered what makes humans different from apes, soon you’ll be asking yourself, is it even less than we think?

“Heard whispers of the Dark all my life. It’s a strange feeling when a whisper becomes a shout.” SONGS OF THE DARK collects all four novellas from the world of Anthony Ryan’s internationally best-selling Raven’s Shadow trilogy. Centuries before the rise of the Unified Realm, the final battle looms between the city state of Kethia and the Volarian Empire. As told by Imperial Chronicler Lord Verniers, this terrible event is shrouded in many secrets and, some say, wrought by servants of the Dark. When word reaches the north of a fresh outbreak of the dreaded Red Hand, Brother Sollis, the finest swordsman in the Sixth Order, leads a small band to a long-abandoned castle in search of a potential cure, but discovers a far greater threat lurking in the mountains. A quest for bloody vengeance forces Derla, a skilled and deadly veteran of the Varinshold underworld, into the service of the arch schemer King Janus. Veteran Realm Guard Jerhid, newly appointed Lord Collector of the King’s Excise, finds himself battling ruthless smuggler gangs and worse on the wild southern shore of the Unified Realm. Four compelling tales of mystery, magic, intrigue and battle presented in one volume for the first time, featuring all new introductions by the author.

Most of us think we are about 15 per cent cleverer, nicer, more attractive and better drivers than others think we are. It seems deception begins at home. After all the most convincing liars convince themselves first. Sellers and buyers, parents and children, friends and lovers must conceal from each other the unutterable truth that they don't believe or want the same things. In this book, Ziyad Marar throws a revealing light on the many ways deception is woven into the texture of human life: our wiring leaves us easily suckered by persuasive illusions, while our contradictory desires (for sex and honesty, money and kindness, for cake and losing weight) force us to cook up self-serving stories. We manage flattering impressions with effortless skill, while pretending our sins and self-indulgences are beyond our control.Drawing on insights from philosophy, psychology and literature, Marar explores the implications for living well in the shadow of Kant's humbling thought that "out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made".

Aristotle famously maintains in his treatise On the Soul that there are three kinds of living things? plants, animals, and humans?and he speaks of each kind as having a soul. St. Thomas Aquinas adopts these same views. Nowadays, however, many thinkers reject them on the grounds that they are incompatible with modern science. Molecular biology is seen as affording a superior way of categorizing life forms. Evolutionary biology appears to have established that humans are simply primates with adaptations somewhat different from other primates. Plant physiology, uncovering plants? directional responses to a wide variety of different stimuli, provides reason to think that plants sense light, pressure, odor, pathogens, etc., in which case plants are simply non-mobile animals, similar to coral. Neuroscience, by showing the dependency of thought, choice, perception, and emotion on the central nervous system, especially on the brain, seems to have eliminated any need to posit a soul. Plants, Animals, People, Aliens addresses these and a variety of other science-based claims about living things by bringing Aristotelian-Thomistic teachings to bear upon them. While not a systematic work, it both treats some of the most hotly debated philosophical questions concerning living things, such as what it means to be alive, as well as treating questions less often raised by philosophers, such as whether animals have a theory of mind. Though geared primarily to those conversant with the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, many of its key concepts are traced back to experiences that we all share in common, thus rendering these concepts intelligible, if not convincing, to those with scientific and other backgrounds who are curious about this philosophical approach to living things. The author strives to show how Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy and science complement one another by sketching out the fuller understanding of the living realm that the two together provide. The book?s final section considers the possibility and the likelihood that embodied rational beings exist elsewhere in our universe. Here, theological arguments drawn from the Christian faith are presented alongside philosophical and scientific arguments. This section closes with a theological discussion of the disputed question of whether extraterrestrials, were they to exist, should be baptized.
