At the same time, Max discovers his exceptional talent for art forgery. Moving to New York, he becomes a tool in the hands of a powerful international ring dealing in forged art, and suffers from the loss of his own artistic integrity. Himself seduced as much as a seducer, how can Max escape and redeem his artistic soul?

Book Synopsis The Art of Deception by : Kevin D. Mitnick
Download or read book The Art of Deception written by Kevin D. Mitnick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security.
Book Synopsis Photography: The Art of Deception by :
Download or read book Photography: The Art of Deception written by and published by Amherst Media. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography is a lie. Just think about it: photographers create two-dimensional images that sometimes even lack color and then expect everyone who views the image to believe that this is how the subject and scene appeared in front of the lens, in real life. What is truly amazing is that people fall for the visual trickery readily, almost as if they want to be deceived. It gets better: people still believe that one can photograph only what is really there. In this book, Irakly Shanidze reveals the smoke and mirrors that the best photographers use to surprise, entertain, and inspire viewers. He explains that the individual features of photographer’s perception and technical limitations of his equipment make him do things that may eventually make a picture look very different from how a viewer would see the same scene with a naked eye and can lead to a ruined picture. Conversely, photographers who understand these phenomena can use the aforementioned “constraints” to deliberately adjust the level of truthfulness in their pictures. In each beautifully illustrated chapter, Shanidze discloses the photographic tools that enterprising photographers can use to create visual deception (e.g., to create a sense of dimension, create day-for-night effects, establish mood, simulate candid photographs, and generally suspend disbelief—without the time-consuming post-processing!). In doing so, he describes the image objectives (in other words, defines the image concepts) and introduces the tools needed to achieve them—whether a lens of a certain focal length, a light of a specific wattage, or a given shutter speed. He also deconstructs some of his favorite images to show readers how he was able to create a chiseled deception of his own. Armed with this book, photographers will learn to truly take the reins in their photographic pursuits and deliver supercharged, iconic, storytelling images.

Book excerpt: A spell-binding story of greed, love and murder. Nicholas Ochterlonie thinks himself the most conventional of Englishmen, content to live on his private income and dabble in art history. If only his wife had not decided to leave him, he might have remained just that. But she did, and he finds himself on his own in London the night he rescues Julian Bennet from a mugger. Beautiful, mysterious and threatened by dangers Nicholas cannot even begin to understand, Julian draws him into her terrifying world where hot money and the Russian Mafia mix in a murderous cocktail. Then Julian’s world and his meet when his speculations about whether a painting is a forgery make him a bitter enemy. The result is murder.

Book Synopsis The Art of Deception by : Ridley Pearson
Download or read book The Art of Deception written by Ridley Pearson and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seattle police psychologist Daphne Mathews has her hands full with a pregnant, addicted, runaway teenager, a murder victim's brother whose strange behavior unnerves her, and a deputy sheriff she once treated who's now stalking her. She's frightened enough to move in with Detective John LaMoia, a development that doesn't exactly thrill Lou Boldt, their boss and Daphne'sex-lover. But Lou's too busy with his own cases to brood over John and Daphne: the recent disappearances of two local women, and the death of Billy Chen, the nephew of Mama Lu, an old friend and a powerful figure in Seattle's Chinese community, which appeared to be an accident but turns out to have been murder. The only thing the disappearances and murder have in common is location; all three victims were last seen in a part of downtown built over the Underground, a dark and dangerous warren of buildings abandoned after the fire that leveled Seattle more than a hundred years ago. While Seattle's Underground has been the setting for several mysteries by other authors (Earl Emerson, J.A. Jance), Pearson makes the most of its creepy-crawly atmosphere in a gripping thriller whose solid plotting pulls all of Daphne's, LaMoia's, and Boldt's cases together. It also wisely reconfigures the personal relationships among the three central characters, which bodes well for their future adventures in this long-running series (Middle ofNowhere, The Pied Piper). --Jane Adams

Book excerpt: The year is 1287. In the Holy Land the winds of change are slowly eroding the foundation of Christian influence. In the royal court of France the winds of treachery are encouraging an undercurrent of disgust and distrust directed toward the legendary Knights Templar. Into the vortex of change and chance five people struggle to fulfill their destinies. In a world that valued small women Domino deCourtney was an oddity. Tall, elegant and red haired, she drew stares like a bee to honey in the Christian city of Acre in the Holy Land. A chance remark in the market place between Domino and her sisters hurdles Domino into an unexpected and disastrous marriage, beginning with her wedding night. Instead of dissolving into a cowering mass of humanity, Domino discovers her indomitable spirit and courage.Sir Charles Paget, Domino's future husband, is selfish, manipulative and dangerous, even on a good day. Charles learns his nephew in England has died thereby insuring Charles will inherit the title of Earl of Exter on his brothers' death. He realizes his responsibility to produce an heir of his Paget blood to continue their family line. However, his choices among the European aristocracy in Acre were limited due to his somewhat tarnished reputation of keeping a male lover. Hearing the taunt between the sisters in the market place, he realizes Domino may be the solution to his dilemma.Sir Etienne desBarres, the eldest son of Charles' sister. The handsome Templar knight arrives in the Holy Land along with his younger brother, Philip. The first meeting between Etienne and Domino, even though she is expecting Charles' child, ignites a buried yearning as ancient as time itself. A jealous Sir Charles observes their reactions and initiates steps to ensure Etienne's removal from Acre, praying that Etienne will not survive the ordeal.Philip desBarres, Etienne's younger brother, recruited as a spy by master manipulator, Templar monk Brother Ambrose. He is placed as Secretary to the Grand Master of the Knights Templar in Acre. Quiet, intelligent and observant, he retains his secrets as he guides and protects his older brother. Alya, the miniature woman rescued from the slavers by Domino, is possessed with the "sight" along with other mystical powers. She is to guide and support Domino and Etienne during this life.Raul Langston, long-time lover and secretary of Sir Charles. Charles' man of under-handed dealings, Raoul has for years arranged whatever unscrupulous activities Charles did not wish associated with his name. Driven by jealousy and insecurity by Charles' marriage he performs a feat which almost kills Domino. But even Raoul has his limits. From the sands and ancient mystery of the Holy Land to the court of King Philip IV of France, the winds of change our players, whirling them to their fates. Domino and Etienne strive to overcome multiple adversities and conventions to fulfill their destinies. Though separated by the fall of Acre in 1291, they reunite in England for the continuation of their story in The Paradox of Intrigues.
Book Synopsis The Art of Deception by : Nicholas Capaldi
Download or read book The Art of Deception written by Nicholas Capaldi and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you tell when you're being deceived? This classic work on critical thinking — now fully updated and revised — uses a novel approach to teach the basics of informal logic. On the assumption that "it takes one to know one," the authors have written the book from the point of view of someone who wishes to deceive, mislead, or manipulate others. Having mastered the art of deception, readers will then be able to detect the misuse or abuse of logic when they encounter it in others — whether in a heated political debate or while trying to evaluate the claims of a persuasive sales person. Using a host of real-world examples, the authors show you how to win an argument, defend a case, recognize a fallacy, see through deception, persuade a skeptic, and turn defeat into victory. Not only do they discuss the fundamentals of logic (premises, conclusions, syllogisms, common fallacies, etc.), but they also consider important related issues often encountered in face-to-face debates, such as gaining a sympathetic audience, responding to audience reaction, using nonverbal devices, clearly presenting the facts, refutation, and driving home a concluding argument. Whether you’re preparing for law school or you just want to become more adept at making your points and analyzing others’ arguments, The Art of Deception will give you the intellectual tools to become a more effective thinker and speaker. Helpful exercises and discussion questions are also included.
