Dark Side of Fortune
Doheny built was one of the early oil barons in Mexico and the United States before becoming embroiled in the Teapot Dome scandal.
Society and the Supernatural in Song China
Society and the Supernatural in Song China is at once a meticulous examination of spirit possession and exorcism in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a social history of the full panoply of China's religious practices and practitioners at the moment when she was poised to dominate the world economy. Although the Song dynasty (960-1276) is often identified with the establishment of Confucian orthodoxy, Edward Davis demonstrates the renewed vitality of the dynasty's Taoist, Buddhist, and local religious traditions. He charts the rise of hundreds of new temple-cults and the lineages of clerical exorcists and vernacular priests; the increasingly competitive interaction among all practitioners of therapeutic ritual; and the wide social range of their patrons and clients.

Lessons for Tomorrow
This is a comprehensive guide to help parents, educators and students understand the core flaws in America's public education system. The book's central theme is that the system is obsolete and needs to be completely redesigned. Author, Edward Davis explains why the system is obsolete and then covers the design principles and features of a redesigned K-12 public education system. Davis asserts that the first step toward developing a new architecture is to design curriculum that develops higher brain functions. What we do now: drill and practice, forcing learners to fulfil the embedded expectations of teachers and lesson plans and then having them perform, like trained seals, for tests, is pr...
