The three books in this trilogy are essential reading if you've ever figured they were out to get you. If specialization is for insects, this is the path back to humanity, as you learn:

• How to read a marked deck of cards.
• How to fake out a polygraph.
• The Rorschah blot test, and what the psychologist is expecting you to see in the patterns.
• The location of Walt Disney's grave.
• How to saw a woman in half.
• How to count cards.

Culled from public records, personal research, and other sources are a wide variety of trade secrets, such as the recipe for Coca-Cola, the secret herbs and spices in KFC, and the story behind Dr. Bronner's Soap. Great stuff involving secret societies, the trade secrets of Scientology, and a ton of behind-the-scenes information about credit cards, fire-walking, and other facts so essential to survival in the modern world.

A great reminder that we live in a complex world.
