Paperback. Condizione: New. In today's world, truth no longer triumphs because it is correct-it survives because it is emotionally persuasive, algorithmically amplified, and socially acceptable.In The Power of Perception - When Reality Loses the Battle, Dr Orhan Dragas explores what happens when perception overtakes fact, and when feelings outweigh evidence. With clarity and depth, he shows how digital platforms, reputation networks, and emotional echo chambers have eroded shared reality, leaving societies vulnerable to manipulation, mistrust, and political radicalisation.Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and sociology, Dragas dismantles the illusion that technology is neutral. Instead, he reveals how algorithms and attention economics quietly shape what we accept as real.This is not just a book about "fake news" but a guide to understanding how truth itself is made - and unmade - in the 21st century. Thought-provoking and urgent, it challenges readers to confront a fundamental question: can we still agree on what reality is.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Passport to Oblivion is the first case book of Dr. Jason Love . . . country doctor turned secret agent.Multi-million selling, published in 19 languages around the world and filmed as Where the Spies Are starring David Niven.'As K pushed his way through the glass doors of the Park Hotel, he realized instinctively why the two stumpy men were waiting by the reception desk. They had come to kill him. .' Who was K - and why should anyone kill him? Who was the bruised girl in Rome? Why did a refugee strangle his mistress in an hotel on the edge of the Arctic Circle? And why, in a small office above a wholesale fruiterers in Covent Garden, did a red-haired Scot sift through filing cabinets for the name of a man he knew in Burma twenty years ago? None of these questions might seem to concern Dr Jason Love, a country practitioner of Bishop's Combe, Somerset. But, in the end, they all do.Apart from his patients, Dr Love has apparently only two outside interests: his supercharged Cord roadster, and the occasional Judo lessons he gives to the local branch of the British Legion. But out of the past, to which all forgotten things should belong, a man comes to see him - and his simple, everyday country-life world is shattered like a mirror by a .38 bullet.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.? Miriam Hassan stands in the defendant's dock at Birmingham Crown Court charged with the cold-blooded murder of her well-known, rich, charismatic husband Zaf, to which she pleads not guilty. However, nothing is straightforward. There is conflicting witness testimony. The couple argued on the day in question, and Miriam was overheard threatening him. A witness places her at the scene of the crime. Miriam's evidence casts doubt on her guilt, but no one can corroborate it. It soon becomes apparent that both Zaf and the marriage were not as they seemed. Miriam discloses details about the 'gaslighting' and emotional abuse she suffered, and the court also discovers that Zaf in fact had a number of enemies. On the other hand, Miriam stands to inherit Zaf's vast fortune if she walks free. Through the moving testimony in the courtroom and dramatic flashbacks of the two-year marriage, the reader is taken on a gripping and thought-provoking journey, but when the shocking truth is finally revealed, the reader will be left with a moral question that may be difficult to answer.…
