Today, when Russia has regained its power on the world stage and Putin is seeking to recreate the Russian empire, it is helpful to understand what Russia was like at the time of transformation set in motion by Gorbachev. For a time, Russia went through a period called "glasnost" and "perestroika" when all things seemed possible and a spirit of democracy was in the air. The Soviet Union was breaking up and everyday citizens were imagining a new democratic future, though this restructuring soon led to a period of capitalism and rampant crime, before the crackdown and transformation under Putin. Now Russia is in a confrontation with the West over the Ukraine and suffering new economic turmoil. BEFORE THE MODERN RUSSIAN REVOLUTION is a look back at this time of rapid change by a sociologist and anthropologist who traveled to Russia and other countries that were part of the Soviet Union on three trips between 1987 and 1990. This book describes her journey there in 1988 as part of a citizen diplomacy group that offered an opportunity to make personal connections with people in all walks of life. It takes you to the heart of Soviet daily life, where you will meet working mothers, new entrepreneurs, lawyers, artists, journalists, psychologists, and others. While providing a marked contrast to the lifestyle of Russians today, these portraits help to provide insight into the new society Russia has become.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LYING is a book about how and why people lie, how we respond when others lie to us, how to tell when someone is lying, and what to do about it. The book includes a questionnaire to determine your own Lie-Q score: how much you lie. As the book illustrates, we lie for all kinds of reasons - to protect ourselves, gain an advantage, avoid punishment, protect other's feelings, escape blame, or get out of something we don't want to do. Though philosophers, religious leaders, teachers, and parents tell us lying is morally wrong - at some time, everyone does it. And in the last decade, we have seen more and more examples of lying in the daily news. THE TRUTH ABOUT LYING provides a broad overview of the subject in a book that has become a classic. It begins with an overview of the pervasiveness of lying today and throughout history. Then, it discusses the range of lies, reasons people lie, and different types of lies in different situations, using many stories from ordinary, respectable people to illustrate. The concluding chapters discuss how readers can deal with lying in their own lives.
