In <I>Quirkology</I>, he navigates the backwaters of human behavior, discovering the tell-tale signs that give away a liar, the secret science behind speed-dating and personal ads, and what a person's sense of humor reveals about the innermost workings of their mind-- all along paying tribute to others who have carried out similarly weird and wonderful work. Wiseman's research has involved secretly observing people as they go about their daily business, conducting unusual experiments in art exhibitions and music concerts, and even staging fake séances in allegedly haunted buildings. With thousands of research subjects from all over the world, including enamored couples, unwitting pedestrians, and guileless dinner guests, Wiseman presents a fun, clever, and unexpected picture of the human mind. 963845 book 27 8 2007 Quirkology: How We Discover the Big Truths in Small Things total:203|5:42|4:80|3:62|2:15|1:4| 203 750 434 53 2 1 false false Sun Mar 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 18:13:36 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 18:21:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 3 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 04 09:26:47 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 04 09:45:54 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Dec 22 14:54:36 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 11:21:09 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 1 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 20:00:45 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 18:49:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 09:23:27 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 02:26:04 -0700 2009
