“The best book I’ve seen on cross-examination in ages – maybe ever.”
— Bryan Garner, editor in chief, Black’s Law Dictionary

The Truth Engine is easy to read, fascinating, and useful, not just for attorneys, but for anyone who wants to get to the bottom of something. As an attorney, and one who struggled with the practical, outside-of-the-classroom aspects of litigation after law school, I find myself referring back to the book before depositions and cross-examination more than any other resource. 
—Ron Burgundy

The Truth Engine identifies that magic, explains how it works and teaches you how to achieve it. The Truth Engine is not so much a manual but is as if you sat down next to the best trial attorney you will ever meet, and he is in the mood to pass on his secrets.

What might seem on the surface to be treatise meant for trial lawyers has a much broader message and appeal… The final section was truly mind expanding. He takes us beyond the more well-known concepts of analytical and critical thinking, adding to them the art of “fluid thinking,” a skill that synthesizes mind/body awareness, breathing, posture, [and] exercise into a tool to perfect one’s performance in the courtroom, but equally applies to surgeons, ER physicians, pilots, and others where mastery of details and knowledge must be accompanied by the ability to respond quickly to changing events. The author demonstrates… how a classical education can weave a beautiful tapestry using a broad array of human experiences… An engaging, fun, and thought provoking tome.

One of the most influential texts on contemporary gender, racial politics in Brazil. A must read for anyone interested in learning more about the relationship between gentrification, anti-blackness, and state violence in Brazil. Indispensable for those interested in transnational feminist activism, black feminism and black women’s organizing as well. Superbly done.
—Sortilege

Important book. Well written and authoritative. Rooted in Black feminist scholarship. Truly the best of all the books coming out of African Diaspora Studies and on Black Brazil. The work is well researched, beautifully written, politically insightful and richly nuanced. This book will be a classic in the field. It is that important.
—Dena Wahna

A brilliant and incisive analysis of Black women’s organizing against dispossession and encroachment on land and water rights in Brazil.

Carmi conveys his deep insights into growth, happiness, fullfilment, and personal expression through art. This intuitive and dynamic book should be of value to a wide range of people, and I found it quite illuminating to read.
