Deception and Abuse at the Fed: Henry B. Gonzalez Battles Alan Greenspan's Bank
Robert D. Auerbach
University of Texas Press, 2008
The Federal Reserve—the central bank of the United States—is the most powerful peacetime bureaucracy in the federal government. Under the chairmanship of Alan Greenspan (1987-2006), the Fed achieved near mythical status for its part in managing the economy, and Greenspan was lauded as a genius. Few seemed to notice or care that Fed officials operated secretly with almost no public accountability. There was a courageous exception to ...

All of Dan Browns books are great. I started with the most popular of course - the Da Vinci Code, but then back tracked to read his others. He is a great writer. I highly recommend all of his books.

I did not want this book to end!!!
This was such a good book!!! I stopped doing my usual routine to read this book, because it was so interesting. It has all the levels of a great book (for me) romance, mystery, drama, ACTION, and comedy. I really enjoyed it and if you liked the Da Vinci Code you will like this book too. I have not read Digital Fortress or Angels and Demons but after reading this awesome book I definitely plan ...

Sweet Deception: Why Splenda, NutraSweet, and the FDA May Be Hazardous to Your Health 24 reviews
Joseph Mercola, Kendra Degen Pearsall
Nelson Books, 2006
I BOUGHT THREE!!
And I'm so glad I did. This book is PACKED with the enough of the big picture to really shed light on how dangerous this stuff is. Read about Monsanto and saccharine in 1901. Read about how Splenda produces more air pollution than our dirtiest tire factory or oil refinery. Splenda. Yay.
This book is a great read! If you are looking for a window into the sordid history of the U.S., ...

Cloak of Deception (Star Wars)92 reviews
James Luceno
Del Rey, 2002
Any new reader to Star Wars should start with this book!
One of the main aspects that I thoroughly enjoyed while reading James Luceno's 'Cloak of Deception' was his political intrigue. While the novel is not solely a biography on Palpatine, Luceno does a fantastic job of extrapolating the character from the dialogue and scenes presented in 'The Phantom Menace'. The book satisfies many of the observed shortcomings of Episode I, in that it explains the ...

I saw this book for sale in a catalog for several years and had wanted it but didn't want to pay the full price, thanks Amazon for offering it at a discount. I've always been intrigued by illusions and pictures with perception differences.
This book does not disappoint. For anyone who wants to know more about the different kinds of picture Illusions and the backgrounds of the artists, this ...

Readers come away with a new outlook on the effects their management/relationship style has on others, and what drives and motivates people, and the prices we pay along the way, sometimes without even ...

Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered ... 29 reviews
Jeffrey M. Smith
Yes! Books, 2003
You Are What You Eat, This is Food for Thought
A decade ago, what we ate wasn't on the radar of most people. The musings of a few hermits, a handful of anti-government critics and your garden variety assortment of conspiracy theorists and crazy people was all that one had when it came a debate on whats being done to our nation's food supply.
Thats why Seeds of Deception is such a welcome addition to my bookshelf. For the first time there ...

The Anatomy of Deception18 reviews
Lawrence Goldstone
Delacorte Press, 2008
The Greater Good
Lawrence Goldstone's "The Anatomy of Deception" is that rare example of fiction that illuminates an obscure but important bit of history, while at the same time managing to capture the reader in suspense and intrigue more typically associated with a contemporary thriller/mystery. Goldstone takes us back to Philadelphia, circa 1889, to the clinics of University Hospital and Philadelphia General; ...

Kevin D. Mitnick, William L. Simon
Wiley, 2003
A classic and must-read for anybody worried about security
This is a great starting point for anybody interested in deceit. While the book focuses on "real-world" deceit, many of the principles carry over to online crime. It is very easy to read, and yet, informative and helpful. If you want to find an answer to the question "Just how much will people agree to?" then this is the book for you to read -- whether you are a system administrator, security ...

Derek Prince
Whitaker House, 2008
Put on the whole armor
Derek Prince retells us in a very concise manner that which Scripture says in that "we struggle not against flesh and blood but against...the spiritual forces of evil..." While giving a 10,000 ft overview of the devil and his fallen angels, he spends the majority of the 137 pages talking about the every day practical preparation a believer under goes to suit up with the whole armor of God. ...

Nicholas Capaldi
Prometheus Books, 2007
Incredible book,incredible review
Exactly as Dr. Schweinsberg said. This text was a magnificent accomplishment. Reading some of the reviews, I was dismayed. I of course believed that there was some sort of miscommunication, or perhaps that the readers knew nothing of the subject, or that they simply didn't know what they were getting when they purchased the book. Whatever the case, I would suggest to anybody to read Dr. ...

Christopher Bryson
Seven Stories Press, 2006
Scary but true
I read this book as part of a book club and was absolutely amazed at the history of lies and chicanery associated with flouride in our water, toothpaste and dental use. If you want validation of what is in the book look no further than the January 2008 issue of Scientific American who interviews and quotes many of the scientists whose stories are found in this book.
I used to think that ...

By Way Of Deception: The Making And Unmaking Of A Mossad Officer54 reviews
Victor Ostrovsky, Claire Hoy
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1991
Insightful look at Mossad
Highly recommend this book. He covers a lot in this book and most importantly how the intelligence agency commonly use False Flag operations. Operations committed by Mossad, but which are made to look as though they come from Palestinians or Arab militants, with the result that they and not Mossad gets the blame in the media. This is used over and over in todays wars, but never gets a mention in ...
