We are exposed on a daily basis to bogus promises of comfort, security, healing, truth, and even predictions of the future. The Lying Machine shines an unforgiving light on two extremely popular and lucrative examples of this phenomenon: "cold reading" techniques, and the pseudosciences of graphology and polygraph interrogation. Is there any scientific basis at all for the claims of their practitioners?

The authors review the history and the relevant research and, aided by a wealth of anecdote and illustration, expose the pretensions and fallacies of these practices in clear...

Control and estimation of linear systems with state-multiplicative noise in the H-infinity setting is covered in this monograph. Multiplicative noise appears in systems where the process or measurement noise levels depend on the system state vector. Such systems are relevant when a gain-scheduled controller utilizes a noisy gain-scheduling parameter or when the noise level depends on one or more of the states; the latter is encountered, for example, in radar measurements where larger ranges involve higher noise level. The last decade has witnessed a resurgence of interest in the...

Gershon Brin examines the development of biblical law, suggesting that it may be due to different authors with different legal outlooks, or that the differing policies were required in response to different social needs, etc. Biblical laws appearing in the Dead Sea Scrolls literature are treated in a separate unit. Study of this subject can shed light both on the biblical laws as such, as well as on the manner of their reworking by the Judaean Desert sect. Brin also discusses here questions of the style, the idea, and the historical and ideological background underlying the reworking of...
