The Untrue History of Art
Genuinely laugh-out-loud funny, these 125 cartoons from the popular Guardian comic series Peter Duggan's Artoons tackle the whole of Western art history, from cave art to Jeff Koons. What Kate Beaton has done for literature, The Untrue History of Art does for art, managing the tricky feat of being both lightheartedly silly and refreshingly intelligent. Find out what Pointillists do on their days off, why Surrealists hate mornings, and why contrapposto is so cool. You'll get to see Pre-Raphaelite wrestling, Manet's picnic fails, Harry Hockney vs Voldemort, Andy Warhol's childhood on the planet Vulcan, Joan Miro's yoyo, and Yayoi Kusama's obsession with Damien Hirst's head. Two extremely helpful indexes mean you'll never miss a reference, which means it is not just funny but a great entry point into a wider appreciation of art. Gently mocking but never cruel, the humour stems from a true love of art, and a real affection and appreciation for those who make it.This volume is a bigger and better version of the hardcover book Peter Duggan's Artoons, published in 2015 by Penguin/Random House. It has a load more cartoons and whole new chunks of funny and informative yickety yak from the author.Amazon reviews for Peter Duggan's Artoons:"Peter Duggan's Artoons is sensational...I can't remember when I last laughed so much...I'm blown away by Artoons.

Untrue : why nearly everything we believe about women and lust and infidelity is untrue
A jaw-dropping re-evaluation of everything we thought we knew about men, women, and sex. Men are biologically programmed to want sex with lots of different women, whereas women are designed to stay true to one person, right?Wrong. In Untrue, New York Times -bestselling author Wednesday Martin reveals that we are just at the beginning of understanding women’s sexuality properly.From New York to Namibia to a conference of sex researchers in Montreal, she takes us on a journey to understand women who refuse monogamy, posing questions about why we became sexually exclusive in the first place. Martin attends all-female sex parties where married straight women fulfill their fantasies; considers contemporary societies where women take many lovers; analyses how the invention of the plough suppressed female autonomy; and presents fascinating research about why women stray (their motivations are not so different from men’s). Frank and myth busting, Untrue validates the desires of women everywhere, including the ‘silent majority’ in committed relationships who struggle with staying faithful.

"One of the most extraordinary books of the year."-BookPage (starred)A sprawling, evocative, and groundbreaking autobiographical novel told in the unforgettable and hilarious voice of a young Iranian refugee.It is a powerfully layered novel that poses the questions: Who owns the truth?Who speaks it? Who believes it? "A patchwork story is the shame of the refugee," Nayeri writes early in the novel.In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family's history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries.At the core is Daniel's story of how they became refugees-starting with his mother's vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense,and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere.Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S. Implementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore.Like Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. A tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard. - Daniel is a major force and one of the youngest publishers in the industry. - He's an #OwnVoices author, public speaker, and storyteller. - A pulled-from-the headlines immigrant story. - Thematically relevant as immigration stories take center stage in politics, news, and media in 2020. - Daniel challenges how we tell stories by using traditional Persian folk tales - A fantastic literary whirlwind that questions western narrative structures.

What is true and what is untrue?
Truth is a statement or belief that is in accordance with fact or reality. It is something that can be verified or proven to be accurate. On the other hand, something that is untrue is a statement or belief that does not align with fact or reality. It is something that is not supported by evidence or can be proven to be false. In essence, truth is based on evidence and reality, while something that is untrue lacks evidence and does not align with reality.
-
Can you provide evidence that religions are untrue?
It is not possible to provide evidence that all religions are untrue, as belief in religion is a matter of faith and personal conviction. Religious beliefs are deeply held and subjective, and there is no empirical evidence that can definitively prove or disprove the existence of a higher power or the truth of religious teachings. Different people find meaning and purpose in different religions, and the truth of religious beliefs is ultimately a matter of individual interpretation and belief.
-
Would fire-breathing dragons be biologically possible?
No, fire-breathing dragons would not be biologically possible. The ability to breathe fire would require a biological mechanism to produce and expel a flammable substance, as well as a way to ignite it. There are no known biological systems that could accomplish this, and the energy required to produce and expel fire would be impractical for a living organism. Additionally, the heat and pressure from breathing fire would likely be harmful to the dragon's own body. Therefore, fire-breathing dragons are purely a product of mythology and fiction.
-
Can the Bible be disproven or proven to be untrue?
The Bible is a religious text that is considered by many to be a matter of faith rather than something that can be proven or disproven through empirical evidence. As a result, attempts to prove or disprove the Bible's truth are often subjective and depend on individual beliefs and interpretations. While historical and archaeological evidence can provide some support for the events and people described in the Bible, it ultimately comes down to a matter of faith for many believers. Therefore, whether the Bible can be proven or disproven to be untrue is a matter of personal belief and interpretation.
