You are being lied to - Naom Chomsky

You Are Being Lied To is a massive collection of articles that ruthlessly destroy the distortions, myths, and outright lies that are fed to us by the government, the media, corporations, history books, organized religion, science and medicine, and society in general. No one is spared, and all sacred cows are candidates for the grinder.
Do you believe any of the following?

Alcoholics Anonymous is effective.
Hackers pose a grave threat to the nation.
There's a hidden code in the Bible.
The Big Bang is an airtight fact.
Thousands of species have gone extinct because of deforestation.
Licking certain toads will get you high.
Most terrorists are Middle Eastern.

Wake up! You're being lied to.
This book acts as a battering ram against the distortions, myths, and outright lies that have been shoved down our throats by the government, the media, corporations, organized religion, the scientific establishment, and others who want to keep the truth from us. An unprecedented group of researchers--investigative reporters, political dissidents, academics, media watchdogs, scientist-philosophers, social critics, and rogue scholars--paints a picture of a world where crucial stories are ignored or actively suppressed and the official version of events has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. A world where real dangers are downplayed and nonexistent dangers are trumpeted. In short, a world where you are being lied to.
Among the revelations inside:

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Sydney Schanberg on John McCain's efforts to conceal information on POW/MIAs
Howard Bloom on liars in the media
Riane Eisler on the realities of human nature
James Ridgeway on tainted blood and more
Jim Marrs on missing evidence in important cases
Greenpeace cofounder Peter Moore on environmental myths
Michael Parenti on atrocities in Kosovo
Douglas Rushkoff on the information arms race
Gary Webb on the gutless corporate media
Howard Zinn on Columbus .

Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis - Dr. Eric Berne

" We think we’re relating to other people–but actually we’re all playing games." Forty years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berne ’s classic is as astonishing–and revealing–as it was on the day it was first published. This anniversary edition features a new introduction by Dr. James R. Allen , president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and Kurt Vonnegut ’s brilliant Life magazine review from 1965. We play games all the time–sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like “Martini” (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like “If It Weren’t For You” and “Uproar,” to flirtation favorites like “The Stocking Game” and “Let’s You and Him Fight,” Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our
