The Truth About Lies Untangling Fact from Fiction [first edition]

Who lies more easily – men or women? Why does anyone lie in the first place? How can you tell? What do you look for? The Truth about Lies will help you separate fact from fiction. It will help you tell who's lying and who's telling the truth. It will show you how to detect a liar from what people say, how they say it and from their body language. Ranging from medieval witch-ducking to state-of-the-art truth serums, Andy Shea and Steve Van Aperen use examples from history and from modern-day celebrity cases to spin a tale about lies and lie detection through the ages.
