From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught? Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, has now updated his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and methods for uncovering lies. From the deception strategies of international public figures, such as Adolf Hitler and Richard Nixon, to the deceitful behavior of private individuals, including adulterers and petty criminals, Ekman shows that a successful liar most often depends on a willfully innocent dupe. His study describes how lies vary in form and can differ from other types of misinformation, as well as how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still escape the detection of professional lie hunters—judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, Secret Service agents, and others.

No man can learn all there is to know about forecasting the trend of stocks in 3, 5, 10, or 20 years but if he is a deep student and hard worker, he learns more and knowledge comes easier after years of experience I knew more about determining the trend of stocks in 1923 than I did in 1911. Seven more years of experience gave me more knowledge and enabled me to write THE WALL STREET STOCK SELECTOR in 1939 and give my readers the benefit of my increased knowledge. Now, after five more years have elapsed my experience and practical test of new rules have enabled me to learn more of value since 1930. The 1929-1932 panic and what has followed since, gave me valuable experience and I have gained more knowledge about detecting the right stocks to buy and sell. W.D. Gann

The author of "How to Hunt Treasure" has spent most of his life pursuing the "treasure" that exists in infinite variety in the United States - from antiques to art, gold coins to rare documents, antiquarian books to military relics, bank notes to diamonds - and every other type of collectible imaginable. Equally at home with his metal detector on a river bottom or a Civil War battlefield, he also routinely searches auctions, yard sales, flea markets, pawn shops and eBay for unrecognized bargains, and has even placed ads in local publications that bring the "treasure" to his door. His book covers such topics as:

* How to hunt Civil War relics - how to locate the sites and utilize the best methods for finding the relics.

* Gold, silver, diamonds, and coins - how to test and buy gold and silver, how to grade and buy diamonds and coins.

* Coin shooting - the best settings for your metal detector.

* Diving for treasure - why you should consider this "last frontier."

* Bottle digging/diving - why "privies" and rivers are your best bets.

* The incredible opportunities offered by yard and estate sales, auctions, pawn shops, and flea markets.

* Indian artifacts - a hobby to be wary of.

* The tools of the trade - the metal detector, the probe, the seine, the eye, etc.

* The importance of maintaining records.

* Methods used to clean and preserve dug relics - details of electrolytic cleaning.

* eBay - how to use it for research, how to buy and sell intelligently.

* Advertising for treasure - perhaps the most lucrative method for acquiring treasure.

* The importance of a reference library...

The author is adamant that his experiences are not unique. "Anyone can find treasure," he states. "When it happens, it can become a lifelong addiction.".
