"The Humbugs of the World" is a book written by P.T. Barnum, the famous American showman, circus owner, and entrepreneur, first published in 1866. In this work, Barnum turns his keen eye for spectacle and entertainment towards exposing various frauds, scams, and deceits that were prevalent during his time. The book is structured as a series of exposés, where Barnum takes aim at a wide range of swindlers, charlatans, and tricksters who prey on the gullibility of the public for personal gain. He covers a diverse array of topics, including fraudulent medical practices, pseudosciences, spiritualism, fortune-telling, and investment schemes. Barnum's writing style is characterized by wit, humor, and a sense of moral indignation towards those who seek to deceive others. He draws upon his own experiences as a showman and promoter to offer insights into the techniques used by con artists to manipulate and exploit their victims. Despite its serious subject matter, "The Humbugs of the World" is an entertaining and engaging read, filled with colorful anecdotes, amusing anecdotes, and sharp observations. Barnum's larger-than-life personality shines through in his writing, making the book both informative and enjoyable. While some of the specific examples and references may be dated, the underlying message of skepticism, critical thinking, and vigilance against fraud remains relevant in today's world. "The Humbugs of the World" stands as a testament to Barnum's commitment to truth and transparency, as well as his belief in the power of education and enlightenment to combat deception and dishonesty.

The 12 Powers of Man aims to clear up the mystery that ever envelops the advent, life, and death of Jesus. To the superficial reader of the Gospels His life was a tragedy and, so far as concerns the kingly reign that was prophesied, it was a failure. Yet those who understand the subtlety of the soul and supremacy of Spirit see that Jesus was conqueror of a psychic force that was destroying the human race. Jesus was the star actor in the greatest drama ever played on earth. This drama was developed in the celestial realm, its object being to inject new life into perishing men. The full significance of this great plan of salvation cannot be understood by man until he awakens faculties that relate him to the earth beneath and heavens above.

Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction “There Kevin Young goes again, giving us books we greatly need, cleverly disguised as books we merely want. Unexpectedly essential.”—Marlon James Award-winning poet and critic Kevin Young tours us through a rogue’s gallery of hoaxers, plagiarists, forgers, and fakers—from the humbug of P. T. Barnum and Edgar Allan Poe to the unrepentant bunk of JT LeRoy and Donald J. Trump. Bunk traces the history of the hoax as a peculiarly American phenomenon, examining what motivates hucksters and makes the rest of us so gullible. Disturbingly, Young finds that fakery is woven from stereotype and suspicion, race being the most insidious American hoax of all. He chronicles how Barnum came to fame by displaying figures like Joice Heth, a black woman whom he pretended was the 161-year-old nursemaid to George Washington, and What Is It?, an African American man Barnum professed was a newly discovered missing link in evolution. Bunk then turns to the hoaxing of history and the ways that forgers, plagiarists, and journalistic fakers invent backstories and falsehoods to sell us lies about themselves and about the world in our own time, from pretend Native Americans Grey Owl and Nasdijj to the deadly imposture of Clark Rockefeller, from the made-up memoirs of James Frey to the identity theft of Rachel Dolezal. In this brilliant and timely work, Young asks what it means to live in a post-factual world of “truthiness” where everything is up for interpretation and everyone is subject to a pervasive cynicism that damages our ideas of reality, fact, and art.
