Amid the intense colors of a foreign land, JIM LIVES is the story
of a man searching for his son-a correspondent for a popular
american newspaper-who vanished into thin air after sending one
last, enigmatic message: "Jim Morrison isn't dead. He's hiding out
in Italy. I saw him with my own eyes. I'll call you tomorrow and
tell you everything..." Come along with the Creators of PAUL IS
DEAD as they reveal the second chapter in their "conspiracy
trilogy:" a new, fascinating vision of the most mysterious legend
in the history of rock that envisions what happened "When the
Music's Over."
"Like all the best meetings of Jewish minds, this book will make
you think, argue and see the world anew." Hadley Freeman, author of
House of Glass Conspiracy theories about Jews are back in the
mainstream. The Pittsburgh gunman who murdered 11 people in a
synagogue claimed that 'filthy evil' Jews were bringing 'filthy
evil' Muslims into America. The billionaire philanthropist George
Soros has been accused of supporting 'white genocide'. Labour Party
members have claimed that Israel is behind ISIS. The belief that
Jews are plotting against society never dies, it just adapts to
suit the times: from medieval accusations that Jews murder
Christians for their blood to claims that Zionists are seeking to
control the world. In eight short essays, edited by Jo Glanville,
this book goes back to the source of the conspiracy theories and
traces their journey into the 21st century in a bid to make sense
of their survival. With contributions from some of the great Jewish
writers and thinkers of our time, including Tom Segev, Jill Jacobs
and Mikhail Grynberg, this is a fresh take on the roots of
antisemitism that explores how an irrational belief can still
flourish in a supposedly rational age.
There is a war on truth. And the liars are winning. There is an
increasingly large number of weapons in the arsenal of the rich,
the powerful and the elected to prevent the truth from coming out -
to bury it, warp it, twist it to suit their purposes. Truthteller
exposes this toolbox of lies and deception, and reveals how
governments and corporations have covered-up mass murder,
corruption and catastrophe. In a world where Putin and Trump have
successfully branded journalists as traffickers in fake news, while
promoting the actual creators of fake news, investigative reporter
Stephen Davis shows the tools that are used to deceive us and
explains why they work. He draws from over three decades as an
award-winning reporter, editor, foreign correspondent, television
producer, documentary filmmaker, and journalism educator to analyse
exclusive documents and interviews. Discover shocking details of
deception in media across the globe and learn how to recognise and
decode the lies we are told by those in power. Truthteller is an
essential guide for understanding the modern media world - for
teachers, students and concerned citizens who want to know the
facts, not fake news and conspiracy theories. It takes you inside
the world of investigative reporting in an intimate history of a
reporter's battles, won and lost, the personal and professional
costs and the lives damaged along the way.

to conspire against you.
Machiavelli is one of the most famous strategists of all time. In
this collection he discusses the dangers of conspiracies, and the
component parts of an army, vital for gaining and holding power in
his day. He also gives advice on tactics and discipline, and
explains why promises made under force ought not to be kept. GREAT
IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They
have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They
have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have
enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched
lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the
great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas
shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
