Description:
Mark Kurlansky's bestselling works of nonfiction view the history of the world through unexpected lenses, including cod, salt, and paper. In this new book for young readers his lens is the art of the big lie. Big lies are told by governments, politicians, and corporations to avoid responsibility, cast blame on the innocent, win elections, disguise intent, create chaos, and gain power and wealth. Big lies are as old as civilization. They corrupt public understanding and discourse, turn science upside down, and reinvent history. They prevent humanity from addressing critical challenges. They perpetuate injustices. They destabilize the world.
As with his book World Without Fish, Kurlansky has written A History of Big Lies for young readers, the future stewards of our world. It is not only a history but a how-to manual for seeing through big lies and thinking critically. "I hope that you will keep asking yourself what is true as you read this book and live your life," he entreats readers at the outset. "If the Age of Enlightenment is not to be followed by the Age of Chaos, we have to think for ourselves."
A History of Big Lies soars across history, alighting on the "noble lies" of Socrates and Plato, Nero blaming Christians for the burning of Rome, the great injustices of the Middle Ages, the big lies of Stalin and Hitler and their terrible consequences, and the reckless lies of contemporary demagogues, which are amplified through social media. Lies against women and Jews are two examples in the long history of "othering" the vulnerable for personal gain. Nor does America escape Kurlansky's equal-

COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color Custom Nudes, 960 Universal Nude
Color: 960 Universal Nude, Size: 0.07 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Product Review: COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color Custom Nudes (960 Universal Nude)Rating: ★★★★★If you are looking for a reliable, "set it and forget it" lip product that actually lives up to its long-wear claims, the COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color in 960 Universal Nude is an absolute standout. Part of the Custom Nudes collection, this shade is designed to be a universally flattering neutral that works for a wide range of skin tones. Why This Lip Color is a Must-Have: True 24-Hour Wear: This is one of the few formulas on the market that truly stays put. It is food-proof, transfer-proof, and kiss-proof. Once it sets, you don't have to worry about it feathering into fine lines or smudging onto your coffee cup. The Perfect Two-Step System: The secret to this product’s comfort is the two-step process. The base coat provides intense, pigment-rich color, while the moisturizing top coat (the "balm" stick) seals in the color and adds a healthy shine. It prevents that "dry, cracked" feeling often associated with long-wear liquid lipsticks. Flattering "Universal Nude" Shade: Shade 960 is a beautifully balanced neutral. It has just enough warmth to look natural without being too orange or too washed out, making it the perfect "your lips but better" choice for daily wear. Budget-Friendly Professional Results: It delivers a high-end, polished look that rivals luxury long-wear brands at a fraction of the cost. It’s a reliable staple for weddings, long workdays, or any event where you won't have time for touch-ups. Final Verdict: The COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color is a powerhouse in the world of drugstore makeup. It offers incredible longevity, a comfortable finish, and a shade in 960 Universal Nude that is incredibly easy to style with any outfit. It is the ultimate solution for anyone who wants a flawless lip look that lasts from their morning coffee all the way through dinner!

Natural Blush
Color: 621 Natural Blush, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This is a great product. I have a lot of dental work and wearing regular lipstick was a problem. I tried this and it doesn’t get clumpy. It lasted for hours, does not rub off. no taste, shine after applying top coat, easy application, great price

Love Covergirl Lipstick, Just Not This Color
Color: 110 Ripe Peach, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
10 stars for Covergirl being cruelty free! Good quality and it stays on until I wipe it off, even after I brush my teeth and go to bed, it is still on! Love the lip gloss that keeps it from feeling dry. I usually buy a different shade but wanted to try a new one. It is always hard to judge a color from a photo, but this one is not the same, which is why I removed 1 star. I know it is a "neutral shade: but it is actually too neutral and barley looks like it is on. In the photos it has a pretty peach color, but it is only a shade or two above having bare lips. If I just wanted a lip gloss, I would buy that and having almost no color is a waste of money for lipstick. Will absolutely still buy this brand again, just in a different color.
