"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.  They pull apart written and spoken word to show ho lies are so hard to carry off because our bodies betray us and, if you know what to look for, how easy they are to spot."
