Download or read book The Psychology of Lying and Misrepresentations written by Gianfranco Denes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible yet scholarly book focuses on the study of the psychology of lying and misrepresentation, exploring the analysis of the cognitive and neural mechanisms that allow the construction of a false response, both consciously and as a consequence of a brain injury. Drawing on perspectives from experimental, neuropsychological and developmental psychology as well as philosophy, the book examines the mechanisms that allow us all to learn to lie and use lies for different ends and in everyday life. The Psychology of Lying and Misrepresentations opens with an introductory chapter on lies and the processes underlying their production. It goes on to examine our innate desire to believe, and the clinical and technical methods used to determine whether someone is lying or telling the truth. The book takes a closer look at false memories and self-deception and the reasons behind their establishment and success in an individual’s life. It then moves on from focusing on the individual to discuss the lies directed towards the collective and puts forth the questions around false news and its sustenance over time. The concluding chapters focus on memory disorders resulting from brain damage and false beliefs resulting from an expression of functional damage to specific neural systems. This book will be of value to researchers in a range of disciplines interested in all aspects of lying, deception, and misrepresentation, as well as experts in forensic study.

Download or read book Arbuscular Mycorrhizas Physiology and Function written by Hinanit Koltai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the first edition of “Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Physiology and Function” was published, an exceptional proliferation of interest in mycorrhizal biology has developed. This has been associated with advances in different research disciplines such as genetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and physiology, advances which have generated better insight into topics of mycorrhizal biology, including the mechanisms of host-mycorrhiza interactions pre- and post-penetration, the influence of the symbiosis on the host and its surroundings, and the evolution and diversity of mycorrhization. It therefore became necessary to both update and expand the book's coverage in this, its second edition.
Download or read book Inquisition and Power written by John H. Arnold and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-07-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should historians do with the words of the dead? Inquisition and Power reformulates the historiography of heresy and the inquisition by focusing on depositions taken from the Cathars, a religious sect that opposed the Catholic church and took root in southern France during the twelfth century. Despite the fact that these depositions were spoken in the vernacular, but recorded in Latin in the third person and rewritten in the past tense, historians have often taken these accounts as verbatim transcriptions of personal testimony. This belief has prompted some historians, including E. Le Roy Ladurie, to go so far as to retranslate the testimonies into the first-person. These testimonies have been a long source of controversy for historians and scholars of the Middle Ages. Arnold enters current theoretical debates about subjectivity and the nature of power to develop reading strategies that will permit a more nuanced reinterpretation of these documents of interrogation. Rather than seeking to recover the true voice of the Cathars from behind the inquisitor's framework, this book shows how the historian is better served by analyzing texts as sites of competing discourses that construct and position a variety of subjectivities. In this critically informed history, Arnold suggests that what we do with the voices of history in fact has as much to do with ourselves as with those we seek to 'rescue' from the silences of past.

Book excerpt: The Sin That Was His is a lovely story of a group of career criminals. The story follows their slow redemption at the hands of a Christ-like healer that they had planned to exploit. A cynical Yukon gambler known as Three-Ace Artie has nothing but hate for religion. Ironically, he had to pose as a priest in a small Canadian village through a bizarre set of events. It was the only way to avoid arrest for a crime Artie didn't commit. He planned to throw off the disguise as soon as he could make a safe escape. But naturally, both legal and romantic complications set in, and Artie must choose whether self-preservation will continue to be his top priority. It is a delightful story with intriguing characters and a subtle theme of redemption and righteousness running in the background.

Sparks fly in these battles of wills, but passion will win the day. In One Knight's Return, Melissande is compelled by her overlord to marry a rough knight just home from crusade - the alternative is to surrender her family holding completely. She knows the kind of knight who will hold her heart, and Quinn de Sayerne isn't it. Quinn, on the other hand, knows what it's like to risk everything and is determined to make their arranged marriage into a real oneÑno matter what the cost to his beautiful wife's pride. In The Scoundrel, Evangeline will do anything to retrieve the relic stolen from the chapel in her family holding, even seduce the thief himself to capture the prize. Gawain has always lived outside the law, a charming rebel protecting his own advantage, but Evangeline's devotion to Inverfyre makes him question is choices. If he changed his ways, could this beguiling, brilliant, maddening woman come to love him? In The Rose Red Bride, Erik abducts Vivienne to avenge himself against his wicked brother. Fueled by anger, he expects little of his captive except a sonÑbut Vivienne is precisely the woman to take Erik's cause once she learns his story. If Vivienne can ensure that Erik's stolen legacy is regained, will her embittered but honorable husband find room in his heart for her? In The Warrior's Prize, Elizabeth challenges Rafael to change his ways, skeptical that the mercenary who nearly cost her brother his life is capable of redemption. But Rafael sees his comrade's sister as an angel sent to save him, and when he realizes that she's in peril of being claimed by the Fae king himself, Rafael will pay any price to save the only maiden bold enough to challenge him. But will his all be enough for Elizabeth? Indulge in four sweeping medieval romances to warm a winter's night!
