Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage (Revised and Updated Edition)
From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught? Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, has now updated his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and methods for uncovering lies. From the deception strategies of international public figures, such as Adolf Hitler and Richard Nixon, to the deceitful behavior of private individuals, including adulterers and petty criminals, Ekman shows that a successful liar most often depends on a willfully innocent dupe. His study describes how lies vary in form and can differ from other types of misinformation, as well as how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still escape the detection of professional lie hunters—judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, Secret Service agents, and others.

Drew Peterson Exposed Polygraphs reveal the shocking truth about Stacy Peterson and Kathleen Savio
Exposing the never-before-published polygraph results of Drew Peterson’s testimony, this illuminating exposé reveals new details in one of the most provocative and high profile criminal investigations in the country. October 28, 2008 marks the one year anniversary of Stacy Peterson’s disappearance from her home in Bollingbrook, Illinois. Since then, her husband Drew Peterson has been at the center of a media storm which shows no sign of abating—and this book is sure to stir it up. Peterson, a former police sergeant, is a person of interest in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, and in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He has not been charged in either case, but he has been been excoriated in the media, and found guilty in the court of public opinion. Drawing on hundreds of hours of exclusive taped interviews with Peterson and his family, polygraphs and a the first publicly published time-line from the suspect, this journalistic inquiry presents the arguments for and against Peterson’s involvement in these cases with an impartial eye and takes the reader inside the head of a suspect. Drew Peterson's own timeline for the nights of Kathleen's death and Stacy's disappearance are revealed here for the first time, as well as the startling results of the two polygraph tests he agreed to undergo for this book. Peterson was questioned by examiner Lee McCord, a thirty-four-year expert in the polygraph, regarding his involvement in the death of Kathleen and the disappearance of Stacy. The results of these tests, the evidence, and testimony assembled here shed new light on the details of the police investigations, motives and alternative theories of the case. Conflicting witness accounts, false leads, widespread rumors, and red herrings that have dogged the investigation are analyzed and 140 photographs and documents (including many private family photos published here for the first time) take the reader beyond the headlines to the heart of this sensational story. The frank and often unsavory portrait of Drew Peterson that emerges is bound to provoke further controversy. .

HOW TO HUNT TREASURE - Dig It, Dive for It, or Buy It: A Guide to Adventure and Profit
The author of "How to Hunt Treasure" has spent most of his life pursuing the "treasure" that exists in infinite variety in the United States - from antiques to art, gold coins to rare documents, antiquarian books to military relics, bank notes to diamonds - and every other type of collectible imaginable. Equally at home with his metal detector on a river bottom or a Civil War battlefield, he also routinely searches auctions, yard sales, flea markets, pawn shops and eBay for unrecognized bargains, and has even placed ads in local publications that bring the "treasure" to his door. His book covers such topics as: * How to hunt Civil War relics - how to locate the sites and utilize the best methods for finding the relics. * Gold, silver, diamonds, and coins - how to test and buy gold and silver, how to grade and buy diamonds and coins. * Coin shooting - the best settings for your metal detector. * Diving for treasure - why you should consider this "last frontier." * Bottle digging/diving - why "privies" and rivers are your best bets. * The incredible opportunities offered by yard and estate sales, auctions, pawn shops, and flea markets. * Indian artifacts - a hobby to be wary of. * The tools of the trade - the metal detector, the probe, the seine, the eye, etc. * The importance of maintaining records. * Methods used to clean and preserve dug relics - details of electrolytic cleaning. * eBay - how to use it for research, how to buy and sell intelligently. * Advertising for treasure - perhaps the most lucrative method for acquiring treasure. * The importance of a reference library... The author is adamant that his experiences are not unique. "Anyone can find treasure," he states. "When it happens, it can become a lifelong addiction.".
