Daniel Boyd
Daniel Boyd (b. 1982) is one of Australia?s most acclaimed artists. His practice is internationally recognized for its engagement with the colonial history of the Australia?Great Ocean (Pacific) region.

The Terrorist Next Door
The threat of terrorism in America, the Obama administration assures us, is contained and controlled. Recent attempted attacks like the Times Square bombing, the “underwear bombing” on a flight over Detroit, and the attack on a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon were all isolated plots that failed anyway. In the words of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano, “The system worked.” Don’t believe it. In , investigative reporter Erick Stakelbeck exposes the staggering truth about our national security: the Obama administration is concealing and whitewashing the enormous terrorist threat growing right here within America’s borders. If you believe terrorism is only a problem for other countries, Stakelbeck’s on-the-ground reporting will open your eyes. He has been inside America’s radical mosques, visited U.S.-based Islamic enclaves, and learned about our enemies by going straight to the source—interviewing al-Qaeda-linked terrorists themselves.

The Boys of Diamond Hill
In 1861, brothers Daniel and Pressley Boyd left their farm in Abbeville County, South Carolina to join the Confederate army. William, Thomas and Andrew soon followed, along with brother-in-law Fenton Hall. During the Civil War, they collectively fought in almost every theater of the conflict and saw firsthand every aspect of soldier life--from death and illness to friendly fire and desertion. By war's end only Daniel survived. Based on their extensive personal correspondence, this updated edition includes 30 never before published letters, along with new research revealing additional family background and undiscovered information about the fates of the Boyd brothers and other family members.
Darien
David Morgan is an expatriate American who has lived and worked in Panama for many years. But when he loses his job with the Panama Canal Commission, his life begins to fall apart. Desperate to regain his place in the community, Morgan joins forces with a former employer, the powerful Panama Canal Commission executive Daniel Boyd. Boyd, too, has recently lost his job with the Commission and is anxious to take advantage of a rich source of gold located in the Darien wilderness of eastern Panama. Boyd needs an expendable partner, and Morgan is the perfect choice. As Morgan enters the Darien., Boyd's perfect plan begins to fall apart. Boyd's daughter, Susan, accidentally discovers her father's plan and races into the Darien to save her former lover, David Morgan. But Daniel Boyd is not Morgan's only problem. The Panamanian government and the United States Army are also interested in what an American citizen is doing alone in the Darien. Soon finding Boyd's god is the least of Morgan's problems as he and Susan struggle desperately to survive in the unforgiving Darien wilderness.
