Truth: A History and a Guide for the Perplexed

Written by a renowned Oxford historian this fascinating volume presents a global history of truth. Sharp and authoritative Truth manages to touch every period of human experience; it leaps from truth-telling technologies of primitive societies to the private mental worlds of great philosophers; from spiritualism to science and from New York to New Guinea. In clear lucid prose this little book takes on an enormous subject and makes it understandable to anyone.
