The daughter in question has gotten caught up in a cult: the Hermetic Order of the Children of Aed. Rumors of human sacrifices, mystical doings, and a ghost in the ruined Alburn Abbey where the Children pray have gripped the public consciousness, helped along by a series of novels about the group, written by the mysterious Count Orlando, and clearly this girl has fallen prey.</p> <p>Miss Hermione’s investigation soon collides with very real life when Violet discovers a surprising connection to the cult. With the dashing-but-frustrating Eli Marsh turning up and a member of the Children poisoned, Violet and Sephoraーalong with their ever-trusty housekeeper Buntyーmay have more intrigue than they can manage.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,093円

Bunk The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News【電子書籍】[ Kevin Young ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction</strong></p> <p><strong>“There Kevin Young goes again, giving us books we greatly need, cleverly disguised as books we merely want. Unexpectedly essential.”ーMarlon James</strong></p> <p>Award-winning poet and critic Kevin Young tours us through a rogue’s gallery of hoaxers, plagiarists, forgers, and fakersーfrom the humbug of P. T. Barnum and Edgar Allan Poe to the unrepentant bunk of JT LeRoy and Donald J. Trump. <em>Bunk</em> traces the history of the hoax as a peculiarly American phenomenon, examining what motivates hucksters and makes the rest of us so gullible. Disturbingly, Young finds that fakery is woven from stereotype and suspicion, race being the most insidious American hoax of all. He chronicles how Barnum came to fame by displaying figures like Joice Heth, a black woman whom he pretended was the 161-year-old nursemaid to George Washington, and What Is It?, an African American man Barnum professed was a newly discovered missing link in evolution.</p> <p><em>Bunk</em> then turns to the hoaxing of history and the ways that forgers, plagiarists, and journalistic fakers invent backstories and falsehoods to sell us lies about themselves and about the world in our own time, from pretend Native Americans Grey Owl and Nasdijj to the deadly imposture of Clark Rockefeller, from the made-up memoirs of James Frey to the identity theft of Rachel Dolezal. In this brilliant and timely work, Young asks what it means to live in a post-factual world of “truthiness” where everything is up for interpretation and everyone is subject to a pervasive cynicism that damages our ideas of reality, fact, and art.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,346円

<p><strong>This book examines a broad range of infamous scams, cons, swindles, and hoaxes throughout American historyーand considers why human gullibility continues in an age of easy access to information.</strong></p> <p>Covering American cons and hoaxes past and present, including the Great Moon Hoax of 1835, the controversy over "subliminal messaging" (do bands, filmmakers, and advertisers really put secret messages in their works?), the panic about "satanic" daycare operators in the 1980s, and recent Internet scams, this book provides a fascinating, fact-based look at infamous frauds across the centuries.

A History of Ambition in 50 Hoaxes (History in 50)【電子書籍】[ Gale Eaton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>What do the Trojan Horse, Piltdown Man, Keely Motor Company, and Ponzi Scheme have in common? They were all famous hoaxes, carefully designed and bolstered with false evidence.</strong></p> <p>The con artists in this book pursued a variety of ambitionsーmaking money, winning wars, mocking authority, finding fame, trading an ordinary life for a glamorous oneーbut they all chose the lowest, fastest road to get there. Every hoax is a curtain, and behind it is a deceiver operating levers and smoke machines to make us see what is not there and miss what is. As P.T. Barnum knew, you can short-circuit critical thinking in any century by telling people what they want to hear. Most scams operate on a personal scale, but some have shaped the balance of world power, inspired explorers to sail uncharted seas, derailed scientific progress, or caused terrible massacres. A HISTORY OF AMBITION IN 50 HOAXES guides us through a rogue’s gallery of hustlers, liars, swindlers, imposters, scammers, pretenders, and cheats. In Gale Eaton’s wide-ranging synthesis, the history of deception is a colorful tour, with surprising insights behind every curtain.</p> <p>Fountas & Pinnell Level Z+</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,067円

Hail to the Fraud mposters and Cheats, Fakes and Hoaxes, Politicians and False Elections【電子書籍】[ Various ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An Anthology of Imposters and Cheats, Fakes and Hoaxes, Politicians and False Elections...</strong><br /> <em>It's very possible that the entertainment that people of this world want most is to enjoy a great deception.</em><br /> And certainly in our current age, that's no exception.<br /> Take this recent “pandemic” which has killed no more people than the average flu season.<br /> Or the analysis of this recent contested election where votes (that were possibly fraudulent, and perhaps magically adjusted by computers) were “counted” during the wee hours the morning after the election, which can't/won't be verified by the officials who are supposed to verify them.<br /> And those are all relegated as only “opinions” from people who are reputedly wearing tin-foil hats in their spare time and subscribing to the latest “conspiracy theory”.<br /> <em>Or ? are they?</em><br /> Only history will prove it out. But, as Voltaire said, “History is the Mississippi of Lies.”<br /> However it is resolved, there undoubtedly will be yet another humbug, fraud, or quackery that is being foisted off on us. Because it's great entertainment.<br /> (My favorite one was that cow flatulence was somehow warming the earth and melting the polar ice caps so that the ocean levels... Oh, we only had 14 years and times up on that one. And by the way, those gases come out from the other end, according to veterinarians. Belches.)<br /> You can trace these things through our history. They just keep coming up. Like the books you find in this anthology.<br /> I appreciate a good satire when I can find one. And I've written several myself.<br /> So bringing this anthology to you was more a delightful hobby than work.<br /> Hope you enjoy these classics.<br /> <strong>Anthology containing:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The Humbugs of the World / An Account of Humbugs, Delusions, Impositions, Quackeries, Deceits and Deceivers Generally, in All Ages by P.

Groundless Rumors, Legends, and Hoaxes on the Early American Frontier【電子書籍】[ Gregory Evans Dowd ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The fascinatingーand troublingーstory of powerful rumors that circulated and influential legends that arose in early America.</strong></p> <p>Why did Elizabethan adventurers believe that the interior of America hid vast caches of gold? Who started the rumor that British officers purchased revolutionary white women’s scalps, packed them by the bale, and shipped them to their superiors? And why are people today still convinced that white settlersーhardly immune as a group to the diseaseーroutinely distributed smallpox-tainted blankets to the natives?</p> <p>Rumorーspread by colonists and Native Americans alikeーran rampant in early America. In <em>Groundless</em>, historian Gregory Evans Dowd explores why half-truths, deliberate lies, and outrageous legends emerged in the first place, how they grew, and why they were given such credence throughout the New World. Arguing that rumors are part of the objective reality left to us by the pastーa kind of fragmentary archival recordーhe examines how uncertain news became powerful enough to cascade through the centuries.</p> <p>Drawing on specific case studies and tracing recurring rumors over many generations, Dowd explains the seductive power of unreliable stories in the eastern North American frontiers from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. The rumors studied hereーsome alluring, some frighteningーcommanded attention and demanded action. They were all, by definition, groundless, but they were not all false, and they influenced the classic issues of historical inquiry: the formation of alliances, the making of revolutions, the expropriation of labor and resources, and the origins of war.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,953円

Lincoln Legends Myths, Hoaxes, and Confabulations Associated with Our Greatest President【電子書籍】[ Edward Steers Jr. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“Succinctly and eloquently debunks 14 popular myths about the Great Emancipator's life and death [with] solid documentation.” ー<em>Publishers Weekly</em></strong></p> <p>In the more than 150 years since his death, Abraham Lincoln has become America’s most revered president. The mythmaking about this self-made man began early, some of it starting during his campaign for the presidency in 1860. As an American icon, Lincoln has been the subject of speculation and inquiry as authors and researchers have examined every aspectー personal and professional ーof the president’s life.</p> <p>In <em>Lincoln Legends</em>, noted historian and Lincoln expert Edward Steers Jr. carefully scrutinizes some of the most notorious tall tales and distorted ideas about America’s sixteenth president. Did he write his greatest speech on the back of an envelope on the way to Gettysburg? Did he appear before a congressional committee to defend his wife against charges of treason? Was he an illegitimate child? Did he have romantic encounters with women other than his wifeーor love affairs with men? What really happened in the weeks leading up to April 14, 1865, and in the aftermath of Lincoln;s tragic assassination? <em>Lincoln Legends</em> evaluates the evidence on all sides of the many heated debates about the Great Emancipator, and also traces the often fascinating evolution of flawed theories about Lincoln and the motivations of the individualsーoccasionally sincere but more often cynical, self-serving, and nefariousーwho are responsible for their dispersal. Based on extensive primary research, <em>Lincoln Legends</em> will settle many of the enduring questions and persistent myths about Lincoln’s life once and for all.</p> <p>“Fascinating reading.” ー<em>Tucson Citizen</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,936円

Impostors Literary Hoaxes and Cultural Authenticity【電子書籍】[ Christopher L. Miller ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“Miller takes us on an exciting tour of postcolonial and world literature, guiding us through the literary maze of the real and the pretenders to the real.” ーNgugi wa Thiong’o, author of <em>Wizard of the Crow</em></strong></p> <p>Writing a new page in the surprisingly long history of literary deceit, <em>Impostors</em> examines a series of literary hoaxes, deceptions that involved flagrant acts of cultural appropriation. This book looks at authors who posed as people they were not, in order to claim a different ethnic, class, or other identity. These writers were, in other words, literary usurpers and appropriators who trafficked in what Christopher L. Miller terms the “intercultural hoax.”</p> <p>In the United States, such hoaxes are familiar. Forrest Carter’s <em>The Education of Little Tree</em> and JT LeRoy’s <em>Sarah</em> are two infamous examples. Miller’s contribution is to study hoaxes beyond our borders, employing a comparative framework and bringing French and African identity hoaxes into dialogue with some of their better-known American counterparts. In France, multiculturalism is generally eschewed in favor of universalism, and there should thus be no identities (in the American sense) to steal. However, as Miller demonstrates, this too is a ruse: French universalism can only go so far and do so much. There is plenty of otherness to appropriate. This French and Francophone tradition of imposture has never received the study it deserves. Taking a novel approach to this understudied tradition, <em>Impostors</em> examines hoaxes in both countries, finding similar practices of deception and questions of harm.</p> <p><strong>“In this fascinating study of intercultural literary hoaxes, Christopher L. Miller provides a useful, brief history of American literary impostures as a backdrop for his investigation of France’s literary history of ‘ethnic usurpation.’” ーHenry Louis Gates, Jr., <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,816円

The Great Housing Hijack The hoaxes and myths keeping prices high for renters and buyers in Australia【電子書籍】[ Cameron K. Murray ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>The Great Housing Hijack</em> reveals how vested interests pull the strings on the property market in Australia, and offers a solution for genuinely affordable housing for those who need it.</strong></p> <p>Everyone claims to want affordable housing, but no one wants cheap housing.</p> <p>While Australians on regular incomes dream of lower rents and prices, the housing policy debate has been hijacked, sailing further away from workable solutions.</p> <p>Leading economics commentator Cameron Murray reveals how property insiders shape the housing market and its policy settings. He explains what property developers really mean when they call for more supply in order to provide affordable housing. He shows why landlords and the real estate industry resist rent controls and why the tax and first home buyer policies of the main political parties achieve little for first home buyers. The hoaxes created by the Housing Cheer Squad hide the brutal truth: for every winner in the property market, there is a loser.</p> <p>For anyone who wants to truly understand the housing market in Australia, <em>The Great Housing Hijack</em> is essential reading. Drawing on the best housing policies around the world, Murray shows how Australia could create a genuinely affordable housing program without compromising the interests of existing property owners.</p> <p>'If you're not sure you believe the official story of why house prices and rents are so high, read this.' - <em><strong>Ross Gittins</strong></em></p> <p>'The only book you need to understand the giant con we have fallen for. Nobody escapes unscathed. Read it.' - <em><strong>Michael Pascoe</strong></em></p> <p>'Cameron Murray unpicks Australia's housing market stitch by stitch and reveals the myths, falsehoods and vested interests that underpin the housing debate.' - <em><strong>Greg Jericho</strong></em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,631円
