  Many historians and cultural observers argue we live in a post-truth world—but if truth is dead, who killed it? And how did it die? Join celebrated historian Jill Lepore as she cracks the case by examining key moments in the history of truth, doubt, and evidence across the last century. 
   
  In Who Killed Truth? acclaimed Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore traces the origins of our current post-truth crisis. In a series of spellbinding stories, Lepore investigates murders, hoaxes, lies and delusions to reckon with the instability of truth and fiction in the twenty-first century. Listeners will follow Lepore through a fascinating, erudite, and antic journey through the thorny problem of how we know what we know, and why it seems sometimes as if we don't know anything at all anymore.  
    
  Revisiting key moments in U.S. history—from the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925 to the 1977 National Women’s Convention to the first election predicted by computer, and more—Lepore uncovers the secrets of the past the way a detective might, hot on the trail of the killer of truth.

  Legends and traditions of the Scottish Highlands: the wolf of Badenoch, the ghosts of the Findhorn, the second sight, and the great Moray floods of 1829, which the author had witnessed. Thomas Dick Lauder was a Morayshire laird and a naturalist as well as a storyteller. The tales are told as a proprietor's local knowledge rather than as folklore. Sixty plates of painting, from Jacopo di Cione to John William Waterhouse, gather the shrines, saints and crowned Virgins that haunt these tales of Highland faith and flood.
