Hoax Springs Eternal : The Psychology of Cognitive Deception

Omtale

This book defines cognitive deception and examines six prominent and illustrative historical cases: King Arthur's Cross, Drake's Plate of Brass, the Kensington Runestone, the Vinland Map, the Piltdown Man, and the Shroud of Turin. Hancock uses these alleged hoaxes to develop and advance fundamental principles of cognitive psychology and deception.
