History of full of liars. Not just little-white-telling liars, but big-honkin', whopper-telling liars—people who can convince us that even the most improbable, outrageous, nonsensical stories are true. And the worst part is that we'll believe it. Whoppers tells the story of history's greatest liars and the lies they told, providing a mix of narrative profiles of super-famous liars, lies, and/or hoaxes, as well as more obscure episodes. Famous liars include people you might have learned about in school, like P. T. Barnum, who basically made a living lying to people for money; liars you might never have heard of before, like Victor Lustig, who managed to "sell" the Eiffel Tower twice in the 1920s; and hoaxes like the Loch Ness Monster Photo Hoax. The book will also include illustrations, sidebars, and infographics.

'Whopper the Chopper' is a children's book. That said, it also has great appeal to an adult audience. Parents of younger children are sure to enjoy reading these 'bedtime stories'. The central characters are a helicopter called 'Whopper' and a biplane, 'Dusty Lady', both piloted by the easy-going 'Moggy'. People who know him will easily recognise that 'Moggy' is actually Francis Meyrick, the author. Francis maintains that most of the stories in this book "are 90% true", based on personal experience. The risks and thrills are true to life, carefully re-told for younger readers while maintaining the suspense as well as the wry humour. The many stories range from supreme rescue efforts, balancing on the verge of the catastrophic, to the well-intended but unfortunate ... bloopers. "Those are closer to 99% true", Francis admits. It becomes obvious that a helicopter can be an extremely valuable aid, in the right hands, but it can also create havoc.

Sixteen-year-old Jacques Rebière is living a humble life in rural France, studying butterflies and frogs by candlelight in his bedroom. Across the Channel, in England, the playful Thomas Midwinter, also sixteen, is enjoying a life of ease-and is resigned to follow his father's wishes and pursue a career in medicine. A fateful seaside meeting four years later sets the two young men on a profound course of friendship and discovery; they will become pioneers in the burgeoning field of psychiatry. But when a female patient at the doctors' Austrian sanatorium becomes dangerously ill, the two men's conflicting diagnosis threatens to divide them--and to undermine all their professional achievements. From the bestselling author of Birdsong comes this masterful novel that ventures to answer challenging questions of consciousness and science, and what it means to be human.
