Описание: A "New York Times "Notable Book of 2012Whether it's in a cockpit at takeoff or the planning of an offensive war, a romantic relationship or a dispute at the office, there are many opportunities to lie and self-deceive--but deceit and self-deception carry the costs of being alienated from reality and can lead to disaster. So why does deception play such a prominent role in our everyday lives? In short, why do we deceive?In his bold new work, prominent biological theorist Robert Trivers unflinchingly argues that self-deception evolved in the service of deceit--the better to fool others. We do it for biological reasons--in order to help us survive and procreate.
From viruses mimicking host behavior to humans misremembering (sometimes intentionally) the details of a quarrel, science has proven that the deceptive one can always outwit the masses. But we undertake this deception at our own peril.Trivers has written an ambitious investigation into the evolutionary logic of lying and the costs of leaving it unchecked.
Описание: THE LAST LONE INVENTOR tells the little known story of the man who invented television. His life–long patent war with David Sarnoff, the robber baron who built RCA and stole Farnsworth’s invention, makes for compelling —and suspensful—reading.

The Wrong Road Home is a story of treachery and deceit inspired by true events. It's the larger-than-life story of a surgeon who successfully practiced for 20 years--first in Ireland and then the United States--girded with nothing more than a Chicago School System GED and several counterfeit medical diplomas Impossible, is undoubtedly any reader's initial reaction--and understandably so--but the tale is based on a Miami Herald Sunday Edition front page exposE that was the talk of South Florida two decades ago. Oprah's producer pursued the imposter for weeks, as did Bill O'Reilly, then the host of Inside Edition.
The Wrong Road Home combines two cautionary tales. The first warns how a Faustian bargain once struck, allows for no turning back. Desmond Donahue's impossible dream of becoming a "doctor" was indeed realized over time, and a "doctor" he remained despite several close calls in the ensuing years. The second cautionary message details the terrible cost in human terms of a life lived alone; of having to forgo marriage and children; of never having a close friend; of having to keep everyone ever met at arm's length so the day would never arrive where he would inadvertently expose the awful truth about himself.
Описание: My book presents a true, concise and straight forward accounts of my horrifying and hazardous journey with prominent doctors associated with Scripps Memorial hospital and UCSD in La Jolla, California. The doctors involved in my case made me go through severe unthinkable suffering and no proper medical care on site. I found myself sinking in deadly doctor's death traps without seeing a way out. Death was holding me by the throat. My book offers a broad coverage of doctors cover-up, falsifying my medical five, conspiracy against me in the United States. Furthermore, I tried to provide you, as space permits, as account of the corruption and lawlessness in the Superior Court of San Diego, California, which denied me due process of law based on statute of limitations and made it impossible to get proper medical help. Publishing my book will captivate the hearts and minds of conscious people who believe in justice and humanity and to serve as an awakening call to the public.
