From two New York Times-bestselling psychologists, “an engaging master class in how to foil purveyors of false promises” (Philip E. Tetlock, author of Superforecasting) From phishing scams to Ponzi schemes, fraudulent science to fake art, chess cheaters to crypto hucksters, and marketers to magicians, our world brims with deception. In Nobody’s Fool, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris show us how to avoid being taken in. They describe the key habits of thinking and reasoning that serve us well most of the time but make us vulnerable—like our tendency to accept what we see, stick to our commitments, and overvalue precision and consistency. Each chapter illustrates their new take on the science of deception, describing scams you’ve never heard of and shedding new light on some you have. Simons and Chabris provide memorable maxims and practical tools you can use to spot deception before it’s too late. Informative, illuminating, and entertaining, Nobody’s Fool will protect us from charlatans in all their forms—and delight us along the way.

The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session.

Houston attorney Jennifer Spencer, eager to prove herself in the legal profession, tirelessly investigates the suspicious campaign financing of a United States Senate race. She has no idea that she has thrust herself into an international covert operation to illegally fund not only the senate race but also the United States presidential election. Once the campaign manager for a senate candidate accidentally leaks word of the attorney's investigation, Spencer is locked into the game until the end. Sergei Yazkov has been given orders to eliminate Spencer before the conspiracy can be uncovered. A master of disguise, Yazkov kills two men upon his arrival in the United States and diligently adheres to the plans of the Tejano Project, a plan to put more guns into the hands of citizens worldwide. Yazkov easily gets into the proper arenas leading him toward the completion of his assignment. Shortly after Yazkov commits his first two murders in the United States, Texas Ranger Juan Falcone is on the trail of the Russian mafia agent. Falcone carefully works his case as Spencer continues her search. As they progress, an intricate web of deception is woven, bringing the idealistic Spencer face-to-face with death and real-world politics.

Farewell to the Good Old Days is a lively and intimate tale by David Greatrix, a man who has lived a dynamic professional life, first as an aerospace engineer and then as a professor of the subject. The book, leaning heavily on the actual life experiences of Greatrix and a number of his academic colleagues close and far away, is divided into two discrete parts; the book’s narrator for both parts is nominally a fictional consolidated representation of Greatrix, drawing from various sources in addition to the author. Part One covers the narrator’s childhood and early adulthood, followed by his moving into his years of growth as a professional breaking into the challenging field of aerospace engineering. Part Two tracks the narrator’s subsequent twenty-five-year academic career as a professor of aerospace engineering at a university in a major urban centre. Prominent in this story are the many challenges the narrator encounters in his navigation of academe in a high-profile setting for engineering education. In an emotional narrative that never strays far from various shades of humour, the narrator shares the details of his teaching and research experience at his institution, frequently bumping up against the pointy bits of an evolving cosmopolitan academic culture. In colourful detail, the narrator reveals the small successes, notable failures, unexpected events, and crushing disappointments that describe his tenure at his university. The narrator is especially candid in his revelations about episodes of betrayal. He takes aim at big targets, including the Canadian government, university administrators, and the academic superstructure as a whole. The result is an enlightening view into an individual’s complicated experience in a demanding world that serves as a microcosm of society at large.
