{"product_id":"b081lh34vh","title":"Truth: A Brief History of Total Bullsh*t","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lighthearted history of lying—from the international bestselling author of  Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up  (Kirkus Reviews).\u003cbr\u003e\nWe live in a post-truth world, we're told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time?\u003cbr\u003e\nTom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In  Truth , he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other—and ourselves—about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world's oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin.\u003cbr\u003e\nSharp, witty and with a clear-eyed view of humanity's checkered past,  Truth  reveals why people lie—and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for  Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up\u003cbr\u003e\nA laugh-along, worst-hits album for humanity. —Steve Brusatte,  New York Times –bestselling author of  The Rise and Reign of the Mammals\u003cbr\u003e\n[A] perfect blend of brilliance and goofiness. — BuzzFeed\u003cbr\u003e\n[A] timely, irreverent gallop through thousands of years of human stupidity. —Nicholas Griffin, author of  The Year of Dangerous Days\u003cbr\u003e\nChronicles humanity's myriad follies down the ages with malicious glee and much wit . . . a rib-tickling page-turner. — Business Standard\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52838353764568,"sku":"YSL69396","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71tU7Yu1QjL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793285835","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b081lh34vh","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
