Summary: No deception here
Review: Although this book does not really say anything new about the polygraph or about how to "beat" it, the book will nonetheless be useful for those in post-tramautic shock from a polygraph experience. It is patent and utter nonesense to suggest that this machine is 99 percent accurate in detecting "lies". The only thing a polygraph does is detect changes in heartbeat, breathing, etc. As the author points out, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that reactions such as this are related to a lie--they may be, but are just as likely to indicate stress or a sensitivity to certain questions. Clifton's book is readable and requires no scientific background. Those of you who have had the unfortunate experience of undergoing this "vodoo" science might want to give it a read, just to remind yourself that there is nothing wrong with you--the people who believe in this stuff are the ones who are delusional.

Summary: Taking a polygraph? Read this book first!
Review: This book explains how the plygraph works (or doesn't work.) Polygraphs only record, however accurate or technically improved, physiological responses. The correspondence of these reactions to any deception is a matter of interpretation. The interpretation is always clouded by presumptions of what is the "real" truth and how the subject "should" be reacting.This book explains what to do to help get past the artificial interpretations and not be judged as a liar when you are telling the truth. ...

Summary: It Works!
Review: This book is a georgia peach in a pineapple field. It works for self sponsored "voodoo science" lie detector tests, especially when you listen carefully, are well rested and practice several times. After getting some inconclusives, I finally passed!Thanks to this book I was able to grow a brain and become a fat cat and hence,it is worth $118,000.
