Download or read book Fake written by Dónal O’Sullivan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, forgers have attempted to fabricate documents to manipulate the historical record. The book explores the most egregious cases--their intent, effectiveness, exposure and significance--from the Donation of Constantine to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to the Hitler Diaries. Ironically, forgeries have helped advance the discipline of history. Case studies trace how scholars worked to reveal the truth behind bogus manuscripts while developing new tools and standards for accuracy and authenticity. In the age of "fake news" and digital editing software, the spectacular history of fraud in print has never been more relevant.

Download or read book Fake Politics written by Jason Bisnoff and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In “grassroots” campaigns, the grass isn’t always green—or natural. In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing—creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm. Fake Politics tells the stories of how this practice has transformed political activism into a veiled lobbying effort by the rich and the powerful. Through a series of vignettes involving the tea party, oil industry, big tobacco, big data, and news media, this book will explore the similarities and differences between various campaigns that appeared as grassroots but, in reality, were lobbying efforts fueled by governments, corporations, major industries, and religious institutions. The process, named for the artificial grass fields at football stadiums and high schools across the country, became so prevalent in the last two decades that it now sits at a tipping point. In the era of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” with the truth well on its way to becoming indistinguishable from fabrication, what can the past of astroturfing tell us about the future of grassroots activism?

Book excerpt: A rare eleventh-century astrolabe from Toledoan astronomical instrument fetches a record price of 2.8 million pounds sterling in a London auction. A few days later, Dr Martin McKenna, an eccentric British expert of Islamic art and science, is murdered in his modest London flat. Only his former teacher, Professor Rietberg, is aware of a connection between McKenna and the astrolabein fact he was not only the owner of the alleged medieval instrument, but also its maker. Together with his Iranian friend, Daryoush, he had been in the forgery business for years, producing medieval Islamic artifacts to near-perfection in Isfahan. This astrolabe, their latest and ultimate forgery, was not only made for money, however. McKenna wanted to leave their imprint on historical research?even research based on a fake! Unaware of McKennas complex motives and his shady business, the police limit their investigation to angry neighbours and male prostitutes. Professor Rietberg, who is proud of his detective talents already proven in the case of The Janissary File (published by Universe in 2007), suspects the murderer to be among McKennas forgery victims. He embarks on a long but ultimately rewarding journey to fi nd the killer, which takes him through the London art market, to Iran and the Arab Gulf States.

Book Synopsis Super Fake Love Song by : David Yoon
Download or read book Super Fake Love Song written by David Yoon and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Frankly in Love: A New York Times Bestseller and #1 Indie Bestseller An Amazon.com Best Book of the Year Five Starred Reviews "Extraordinary . . a beautifully layered novel about first love, tribalism and that brief, magical period when kids have one foot in high school, one foot out the door. . . Yoon explores themes of racism, forgiveness and acceptance without getting earnest or preachy or letting anyone off the hook. And there's a universality to the story that cuts across cultures." -New York Times From bestselling author David Yoon comes an inventive new romantic comedy about identity, perception, and how hard it can sometimes feel to simply be yourself. When Sunny Dae - self-proclaimed total nerd - meets Cirrus Soh, he can't believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny's older brother Gray's bedroom - with its collection of electric guitars and rock posters - for Sunny's own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he's the front man of a rock band. Before he knows it, Sunny is knee-deep in the lie: He ropes his best friends into his scheme, begging them to form a fake band with him, and starts wearing Gray's rock and roll castoffs. But no way can he trick this amazing girl into thinking he's cool, right? Just when Sunny is about to come clean, Cirrus asks to see them play sometime. Gulp. Now, there's only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it. Sunny goes all-in on the lie, and pretty soon, the strangest things start happening. People are noticing him in the hallways, and he's going to football games and parties for the first time. He's feeling more confident, in every aspect of his life, and especially with Cirrus, who's started to become not just his dream girl but also the real deal. Sunny is falling in love. He's having fun. He's even becoming a rocker, for real. But it's only a matter of time before Sunny's house of cards starts tumbling down. As his lies begin to catch up with him, Sunny Dae is forced to wonder whether it was all worth it - and if it's possible to ever truly change. Frankly in Love: "With echoes of John Green and To All the Boys I've Loved Before, it's poised to be the biggest YA debut of the year." -Entertainment Weekly "Yoon's fresh and nuanced approach to Frank's struggle to navigate cultural tensions amplifies both the vulnerabilities and the strengths that can come with being a child of immigrants. . . Yoon underscores the value of honoring both who you are and where you come from." -TIME Magazine "Yoon's stellar debut expertly and authentically tackles racism, privilege, and characters who are trying to navigate their Korean-American identity." -BuzzFeed

Book Synopsis The Fake Crystal Diamond by : Nonyelu Anyichie
Download or read book The Fake Crystal Diamond written by Nonyelu Anyichie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This small volume book is a collection of short stories involving real lives across continents and cultures. It addresses the general subject of most of them—finding and keeping love in our lives in the form of intimate relationships with lots of disappointments that is a commonplace experience across cultures and continent. A significance of the story of handing over a fake diamond that directly means a fake love. This most extraordinary book explores the quest for relationship across culture and the disappointments and shock or hurts that people encounter as they try to find an everlasting relationship and love as people define the marriage and love they want or desire. This is an exhilarating piece of writing that shows that a real relationship of marriage requires matching based on values. This is a significant shift from the romantic idea that is so dominant in our culture but unsustainable in real life. To rely exclusively on romance does not fulfill all one’s needs; it leads you to fall into unconsciousness. There are other aspects of affection worth cultivating—devotion, friendship, commitment, trust, reliability, unselfishness, support, lack of greed. Love is something that all cultures need and want. When they get it, it’s totally outside their control when they get what they feel they desire. In our narcissistic culture of surfaces a vast majority of men tend to feel or believe that the world revolves around them and that they are the center of attraction at least in this modern world in some cultures men are nurtured to be promiscuous, and it is tolerated.

Book excerpt: Melbourne, the late 1940s. A young conservative Australian poet named Christopher Chubb decides to teach his country a lesson about pretension and authenticity. Choosing as his target the most avant-garde of the literary magazines, he submits for publication the entire oeuvre of one Bob McCorkle, a working-class poet of raw power and sexual frankness, conveniently dead at twenty-four and entirely the product of Chubb's imagination. Not only does the magazine fall for the hoax, but the local authorities also sue its editor for publishing obscenity.

At this moment a horrified Chubb is confronted by the malevolent being he has himself manufactured...
