Do you believe in telling the truth? Sure you do. But even thatâs a lie â because we all lie. Whether to protect a friend, to make someone feel better, or to avoid telling even bigger lies later, lying is actually central to human nature. Usually weâre taught that lying is bad, and thatâs that. But in reality, itâs rarely so black and white.
Kira Vermondâs latest book answers questions like: Why do we lie? What types of lies are there? What are the consequences of lying? What methods are used to detect lies? And when is it okay or even good to lie?
From forgeries and hoaxes to plagiarism and placebos, Half-Truths and Brazen Lies offers historical anecdotes, scientific studies, and sociocultural analyses to help unpack the complex world of untruths. Told in a witty, conversational tone with an index and full-color illustrations, the book takes a thorough, nuanced approach to a fascinating aspect of human behavior. table of contents; index; glossary; fact boxes; headings and subheadings; sidebars; rich vocabulary; various types of print
