Trust in our politicians is at an all-time low. We're in a "post-truth" era, where feelings trump facts, and where brazen rhetoric beats honesty. But do politicians lie more than they used to? And do we even want them to tell the truth? In a history full of wit and political acumen, Private Eye journalist Adam Macqueen dissects the gripping stories of the biggest political lies of the last half century, from the Profumo affair to Blair's WMDs to Boris Johnson's £350 million for the NHS. Covering lesser known whoppers, infamous lies from foreign shores ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman"), and some of the resolute untruths from Donald Trump's explosive presidential campaign, this is the quintessential guide to dishonesty from our leaders - and the often pernicious relationship between parliament and the media. But this book is also so much more. It explains how in the space of a lifetime we have gone from the implicit assumption that our rulers have our best interests at heart, to assuming the worst even when - in the majority of cases - politicians are actually doing their best.

A "piercing, unsentimental" (New Yorker) history that boldly challenges the idea of a rural American crisis. It seems everyone has an opinion about rural America. Is it gripped in a tragic decline? Or is it on the cusp of a glorious revival? Is it the key to understanding America today? Steven Conn argues that we’re missing the real question: Is rural America even a thing? No, says Conn, who believes we see only what we want to see in the lands beyond the suburbs—fantasies about moral (or backward) communities, simpler (or repressive) living, and what it means to be authentically (or wrongheadedly) American. If we want to build a better future, Conn argues, we must accept that these visions don’t exist and never did. In The Lies of the Land, Conn shows that rural America—so often characterized as in crisis or in danger of being left behind—has actually been at the center of modern American history, shaped by the same forces as everywhere else in the country: militarization, industrialization, corporatization, and suburbanization. Examining each of these forces in turn, Conn invites us to dispense with the lies and half-truths we’ve believed about rural America and to pursue better solutions to the very real challenges shared all across our nation.

In this book, we take a look at some common deviations of human behavior as well as some fears about global warming and over-population. We also consider how the human mind works and how it can be used to a person's advantage.Deceit and misrepresentation is not confined to our rulers but is also common in all endeavors - for example in the areas of Health, Education and the Legal system - where certain individuals try to achieve supremacy.

WAR... the ultimate crime against humanity. Instituted by those we trust on the basis of the lies they tell us. The rise of Nazi Germany, for example, could never have occurred without the approval and support of Western powers. But all groups in society maintain their authority by lies and deceit. In this groundbreaking book, Dr David Corbett explores how leaders generate power, how they blatantly lie and deceive to maintain it and how they divert our money to useless enterprises to give the impression that they act in our interests.

Sonoma County, California, is famous for its wine, and as its vintages grow more highly acclaimed, small family wineries are being snapped up by the rich and famous. In this tale of greed, deception, and death, one such offer leads not to wealth but to murder. The Kepler family is currently contemplating a bid from a rich New York City hedge fund manager to buy their winery, and they've hired Ned Robertson to represent them in the transaction. To Ned, the beautiful vistas of Santa Rosa, California, are a welcome change after years in the cutthroat world of corporate law in New York. After he takes the Keplers' case, however, he discovers that he was hired because their last lawyer ended up dead! Ned teams up with native San Franciscan Joanne Andrews to get to the bottom of the previous lawyer's unnatural demise. As the two accidental sleuths explore the world of wine, tourism, and big business, bodies begin piling up. California may be sunnier than New York, but Ned is finding out that there is a different kind of "cutthroat" culture out here-and he does not want to be the next victim!
