Book Description
Deranged devices and comic contraptions from the highly inventive and hilarious genius behind The Book of Bunny Suicides. Much like his hero, Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci, bestselling author Andy Riley is not just an artist (or a liar)—he's an inventor. Imagine, if you will: • The easily assembled Pole-Dancing-Club-in-a-Briefcase for stranded businessmen • Christmas tree ornaments that provide surveillance to instantly tell Santa if you?ve been bad or good • A high-speed police response unit aptly named the Cop Catapult • The Arsehole Trap, which can clear an average size town of arseholes in a single day with its promise of Big Brother auditions Like a twenty-first-century Rube Goldberg on the wrong mix of meds, in DIY Dentistry and Other Alarming Inventions Andy Riley has created elaborate inventions that are often side-splittingly sociopathic and never short of patently hysterical.

Book Description
This collection of comics from the author of Wine Makes Mommy Clever and Dawn of the Bunny Suicides takes a humorous look at fatherhood in all its glory. Fatherhood is full of ups and downs, quirks and crises. But there is always humor to be found! Featuring 60 all-new cartoons from Andy Riley, Beer Makes Daddy Strong shows the world just how great dads can be: Daddy knows all the best car games (“Who can stay quiet the longest?”), likes to show off his scars (that he may or may not have obtained while running with the bulls in Spain), and is a great cook (when Spaghetti Bolognese is on the menu). Witty and wise, this affectionate tribute is a celebration of fatherhood and all of its joys, confusion, humor, and, of course, beer. Praise for Beer Makes Daddy Strong “This will make you laugh. It is a piece of artwork, really; a collection of cartoons capturing those “dad moments” that can be humiliating, embarrassing or just plain stupid.” —The Daily Telegraph (UK) “Laugh-out-loud tour through life as a first, from the first ultrasound to holiday traffic jams and pipe and slippers time.” —News of the World (UK) “Funny, true, and—speaking as a dad—embarrassingly accurate.” —Chris Addison

Logically Vol. I - The great lies about medicine, energy, politics, religion and more

Author: gaia straus
Publisher: Youcanprint
ISBN: 8831612239
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 266

Book Description
Questa raccolta si occupa dell'inganno che le persone ignare sono costrette a sperimentare in tutti i campi in cui è coinvolto il denaro e spiega il modo in cui viene attuato l'inganno. Il primo volume della raccolta, relativo alla medicina, elenca le numerose terapie esistenti per la cura reale di quasi tutte le malattie, anche quelle che "Pharmacine" non può curare (cancro, epatite, sclerosi multipla, ecc.). Ci sono diversi riferimenti a pratiche e medici, quasi sconosciuti al pubblico, che sono molto validi e possono facilmente fare ciò che la medicina allopatica non è in grado di fare: cioè, ristabilire l'equilibrio naturale del corpo e riguadagnare la salute. Trattamenti di personaggi storici come Arnold Erhet, Rudolf Breuss, Max Gerson, Catherine Kousmine, Hulda Regehr Clark e molti altri vengono attentamente esaminati e spiegati. L'autore tratta allo stesso tempo l'inganno energetico e, soprattutto, l'enorme inganno sull'UFO (che rivela la verità) che sarà curato nei seguenti volumi. Ricorda che: "Se è vero che le religioni sono l'oppio dei popoli, è altrettanto vero che l'ignoranza e l'ingenuità del popolo sono la cocaina dei ricchi e dei potenti".

Lying, Truthtelling, and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature

Author: Anita Tarr
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003815375
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 232

Book Description
Even though we instruct our children not to lie, the truth is that lying is a fundamental part of children’s development—socially, cognitively, emotionally, morally. Lying can sometimes be more compassionate than telling the truth, even more ethical. Reading specific children’s books can instruct child readers how to be guided by an etiquette of lying, to know when to tell the truth and when to lie. Equally important, these stories can help prevent them from being prey to those liars who are intent on taking advantage of them. Becoming a critical reader requires that one learn how to lie judiciously as well as to see through others’ lies. When humans first began to speak, we began to lie. When we began to lie, we started telling stories. This is the paradox, that in order to tell truthful stories, we must be good liars. Novels about child-artists showcased here illustrate how the protagonist embraces this paradox, accepting the stigma that a writer is a liar who tells the truth. Emily Dickinson’s phrase “telling it slant” best expresses the vision of how writers for children and young adults negotiate the conundrum of both protecting child readers and teaching them to protect themselves. This volume explores the pervasiveness of lying as well as the necessity for lying in our society; the origins of lying as connected to language acquisition; the realization that storytelling is both lying and truthtelling; and the negotiations child-artists must process in order to grasp the paradox that to become storytellers they must become expert liars and lie-detectors.

Love and Lies

Author: Clancy Martin
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 142994594X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 223

Book Description
A provocative and unsettling look at the nature of love and deception Is it possible to love well without lying? At least since Socrates's discourse on love in Plato's Symposium, philosophers have argued that love can lead us to the truth—about ourselves and the ones we love. But in the practical experience of erotic love—and perhaps especially in marriage—we find that love and lies often work hand in hand, and that it may be difficult to sustain long-term romantic love without deception, both of oneself and of others. Drawing on contemporary philosophy, psychoanalysis and cognitive neuroscience, his own personal experience, and such famed and diverse writers on love as Shakespeare, Stendhal, Proust, Adrienne Rich, and Raymond Carver, Clancy Martin—himself divorced twice and married three times—explores how love, truthfulness, and deception work together in contemporary life and society. He concludes that learning how to love and loving well inevitably requires lying, but also argues that the best love relationships draw us slowly and with difficulty toward honesty and trust. Love and Lies is a relentlessly honest book about the difficulty of love, which is certain to both provoke and entertain.
