What does Jane Austen mean when she writes approvingly of a character's 'gentility' and ‘delicacy’, or critically of another's 'indolence' and 'impertinence’? What are her characters doing when they take the measure of a person's 'air' and 'address'? These questions and more are answered in this Janeite treasure trove, which examines the distinctive language woven through Austen’s signature stories. Maria Frawley takes 50 of those words - words that are integral to the fabric of Austen's fiction - and explores them in short, accessible and lively entries.

This book explores the science, psychology, and controversy behind polygraph testing. Far from being a flawless instrument of justice, the polygraph is better understood as a “stress detector” than a “lie detector.” It measures physiological changes—heart rate, breathing patterns, and skin conductance—that may be linked to deception but are not exclusive to it. Nervousness, fear, anger, or even the pressure of being under suspicion can all produce the same readings as a lie. This ambiguity is at the core of the ongoing debate about whether polygraphs are reliable science or clever theater.

When Grammercy finds me crying in a supply closet at a team party, he offers the wildest solution: Fake marriage. Real benefits. One year. No strings. No S-E-X.
