<P>Deception in politics is nothing new, but the quantity of unsubstantiated statements in America today is unprecedented. False notions, fake news, "alternative facts," and opinions are being pitched from the White House, Congress, and the American population via social media, and online, print, and broadcast news sources. Such a widespread spectacle instantly captures the attention of people nationwide, but disagreement has the nation almost bordering on civil war over the definition of "the truth" and what this book calls "post-truth."  In this text, the author and expert contributors present varied perspectives on post-truth, its authoritarian implications for the nation, and how to approach information to differentiate between truth and post-truth. Chapters include text on historical and social events that initiated and developed post-truth and why some people are more prone than others to accept and perpetuate post-truth. They also discuss post-truth as a threat to democracy.</P>
