A mysterious invention causes mayhem in a coastal English village—from “my very favourite of the four Queens of Crime” (J. K. Rowling). The ancient hamlet of Saltey, once the haunt of smugglers, now hides a secret rich and mysterious enough to trap all who enter . . . and someone in town is willing to terrorize, murder, and raise the very devil to keep that secret to themselves. When a transistor thought to be the key to telepathic communication is found, Albert Campion is called to sort fact from fiction. But the device at the center of the mystery is in the possession of two schoolboys, and whether they stole it or invented it, there are others who will kill to get hold of it. “Allingham has a strong, well controlled sense of humour, a power of suggesting character with a few touches and an excellent English style. She has a sense of the fantastic, and is never dull” —Times Literary Supplement
This book establishes the study of ToM in adults as a new field of enquiry and identifies and addresses the key questions that need to be asked by cognitive psychologists to develop a new cognitive model of ToM.

Tired of guessing what they’re really thinking? Read people in every situation—in person, on a screen, or in writing—using the new science of psycholinguistics, from a New York Times bestselling author and consultant to the FBI, CIA, and NSA. “A treasure trove of concepts, ideas, and tools that we can all master to be safer and happier. It’s a must-read!”—Joe Navarro, author of Dangerous Personalities What did your boss mean in that email? Is your mechanic stretching the truth? Whether you’re engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes negotiation, it’s critical to understand the subtext of a situation. But with so much interaction happening on screens—via email, texts, or video chat—we are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues. Furthermore, since many are now savvy about the meaning of body language, it’s become even harder to discern someone’s true thoughts or intentions. A leading lie-detection expert who instructs the FBI and other security agencies, noted psychotherapist David Lieberman, PhD, takes “people reading” to a whole new level. Drawing on the latest research in psycholinguistics—the cues embedded in spoken and written speech—he shows you how to apply his cutting-edge methods to countless everyday situations, including: • Detecting the messaging behind passive language, personal or impersonal descriptions, and level of detail. • Determining whether someone’s account of any incident is the truth or a work of fiction. • Finding out whether a potential hire, dating app match, or new babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something. Nobody wants to be played a fool. Mindreader will help us identify who can be trusted, and who may be out to get us.

Animals live in a world of other minds, human and nonhuman, and their well-being and survival often depends on what is going on in the minds of these other creatures. But do animals know that other creatures have minds? And how would we know if they do? In Mindreading Animals, Robert Lurz offers a fresh approach to the hotly debated question of mental-state attribution in nonhuman animals. Some empirical researchers and philosophers claim that some animals are capable of anticipating other creatures' behaviors by interpreting observable cues as signs of underlying mental states; others claim that animals are merely clever behavior-readers, capable of using such cues to anticipate others' behaviors without interpreting them as evidence of underlying mental states. Lurz argues that neither position is compelling and proposes a way to move the debate, and the field, forward. Lurz offers a bottom-up model of mental-state attribution that is built on cognitive abilities that animals are known to possess rather than on a preconceived view of the mind applicable to mindreading abilities in humans. Lurz goes on to describe an innovative series of new experimental protocols for animal mindreading research that show in detail how various types of animals -- from apes to monkeys to ravens to dogs -- can be tested for perceptual state and belief attribution.
From a Harvard- and Yale-trained neuropsychologist, a science-backed five-step program to boost memory and dramatically decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s. American adults fear Alzheimer’s more than any other disease—including cancer—and because many don’t realize there is no genetic cause for 99 percent of Alzheimer’s cases, they don’t take the necessary steps to change lifestyle factors shown to significantly protect against the disease. In this book, board-certified neuropsychologist Dr. Michelle Braun inspires you to make lasting improvements by explaining the truth about brain health and providing expert guidance through the maze of conflicting media advice on supplements, brain games, nutrition, and exercise. Braun interviews eight leading brain health experts, combining their insights with cutting-edge research to offer proven strategies to implement the five steps of the High-Octane Brain. Interactive exercises help you develop a personalized program for optimal brain health. Dr. Braun also provides a tracking system with a visual depiction of progress, and shows the High-Octane Brain plan in action through the lives of clients. Packed with valuable tips you can implement immediately to minimize common “brain blips,” exercises to boost your memory within minutes, and inspiring insights from nine High-Octane Brain role models ages 44 to 103, this groundbreaking book helps put the future of your brain in your control. “Thorough, backed up by the best available research, and accessible.” —Barry Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Cognitive Neurology/Neuropsychology Division, Department of Neurology, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and University
Extraordinary, unique story – while reading it, the readers hold their breath to find out what the main plot is, for it is not as simple as it might seem… …level one… Professor Valerii, an acknowledged scientist and innovator, loves his wife, Tatiana. He cannot just sit and watch her dying in front of his eyes while no one is able to diagnose the cause of her disease. He embarks on an impossible quest to save her… Alan loves Sonia, at least so it appears. Then why did he betray their love and use the invention of hers and Professor? What is his intention? Sonia is like a daughter to Professor and Tatiana. They love her regardless that she had broken up with Misha, their adoptive son… Sonia loved Misha and could not bear that he left her for longing for his homeland. She could leave with him, but he did not want that. And so she gave all her energy to her clinic and patients, and, of course, to the research with Professor. His revolutionary discovery is about to see the light of day very soon. The USA giant Vesla longs for a new discovery. Their scientist announced to come up with a unique device, the Mindreader, within ten years. For Kurt Eden, the main shareholder and president of the company, it is hard to believe what a good luck came to them – a discovery of a century came to them served on a silver plate and without waiting for a decade. It does not take long, and the dark clouds of uncertainty, suspicion, dirt and lies start to gather around this revolutionary patent. Who can turn the tables? Can it be another couple in love – Thomas and Catherine? It might be, considering that Cathy possesses the power to be immune to the Mindreader, she knows the method of how to be “unreadable”. Who murdered Alan’s ex-colleague? And why? Where is Alan? And who has kidnapped Sonia? Why does Kurt Eden want to stop the manufacturing? Who was shooting at Professor and his wife? Is humankind ready for such invention? “Mindreader” has all the answers. …level two… A well-played game full of intrigues, science, medicine and health research, love and betray, full of lies and desire for power gained through the skill of controlling the human mind… Money, fame and power… A slow start up to the sixth chapter gives room to introduce the creator of the revolutionary invention in the medicine field and to zoom in on his motivation – his love that made him dive into such research and construct something like that. The gradually built up story line interleaves the parts of how it all began with thrilling passages from present, respectively future, in a way that does not give a chance to see it coming, what the plot is… Some sort of unexpected strange twists and events which lead the story line towards some “special and strong” skills of other people… At least that is how it looks on the surface… The story of love of Professor – a scientist – started already in the past century, and it is a true story. As well as the medical invention CEM is real and has been used to this day. As well as the entire story about the intrigues going hand in hand with inventing and patenting this device. But all other events, the further events heading to the future are a fiction… Well, a fiction, which will highly likely happen in reality as well because rumour has it that the work on a similar invention is in progress… somewhere… The love couple Catherine and Thomas will bring us to meditations which appear as the only protection humankind has against the effect of this invention. And how will the main protagonist Sonia handle the betrayal and violated trust? The story line is interwoven by more threads of love which keep the readers from seeing where the story is heading and until the very last moment they will accuse someone to be main suspect, someone completely else than… All these original situations course the story at a brisk pace forward and bewilder the readers so that they are not sure whether they are reading a love story or a medical study about magically healed cases or a detective novel about the hunt for a thief of the license and even about a murder investigation. Or maybe it is a sci-fi story, it seems so… But it is not. The story is real, integrated, compact… and the Mindreader – the revolutionary invention of the century – is already “in the air”, you can sense it… It is close, prowling for us and challenging us to get ready… But how? That all is to found out thanks to this book – through this thrilling story that certainly is going to have a “to be continued…” …level three… The plot stands on the already existing fact that in some countries a treatment using an innovative prototype is being practised. On such principle, the Mindreader is invented – a machine intended to treat and heal people. As it usually happens, this patent is stolen and abused. The line of events triggered by that together with the powerful tool that the Mindreader becomes and how effective it is in destroying humanity – that all is uncovered in this book. As the story is based on true events, projects a real life of an inventor of the original healing tool prototype and through the theft of the patent and know-how reveals astonishing secrets, the whole book gives a very realistic sensation. Moreover, since all the thrilling twists and turns are happening through interpersonal interactions, they point out the twists in love, relationships, and clearly mirror the capability of the Mindreader to change people’s behaviour and implement a desire for power and manipulation into them. Partially it uncovers even the political and religious background and the power of a certain chosen group, who is playing the big game with the events on Earth – on this planet – as if with some dolls, puppets. The plot touches the Sci-Fi dimension here, although the truth lies somewhere in between. Yet it can be a foundation for the next story – Mindreader II, in which all the secrets about Earth and the elite in charge would be uncovered, and which would reveal a catastrophe that the Mindreader can cause unless used correctly. Protectors, of course, are on guard and nearby. The story is situated in Ukraine, the origin of the scientist, later in Europe (Berlin and Switzerland) and then in the USA (Secret Valley).

When radio broadcasting began in the early 1920s, the radio was a magic box aglow with the future, drawing humanity into a new age. Some thought it would dissolve the distance between time and place, others that human minds would become transparent, one tuned to another. Performers claiming psychic powers turned radio broadcasting into a fabulous money machine. These "mentalists," born from vaudeville, circuses, sideshows, and the Spiritualist and New Thought movements of the mid-late 19th century, used the language of wireless technology to explain their ability to see the past, present, and future. Casting their mystical knowledge as a scientifically honed craft, these mentalists persuaded millions to pay for dubious advice until governmental and public pressures forced them off the air. This book is a history of over 25 performers who practiced their art behind studio microphones during the early years of radio broadcasting, from about 1920 to 1940. Here, laid out for the first time, is the tale of how they made cash rain from the heavens and harnessed the sensation of the radio in search of wealth, health, love, and success.
