Exposing a Culture of Neglect
In this book Professor Davis illustrates the often unexpected reach of historical research intended originally to fill a knowledge gap. He found a forgotten figure from the past who as a scholar and teacher had contributed significantly to education. Manuel’s story warranted attention, but in reconstructing it Professor Davis discovered leads to a more complex account in which the key actor, his ideas, and certain precise, albeit dynamic, social conditions intersected and influenced each other.

R. D. O’Leary (1866–1936)
Over the span of forty years, Professor Raphael Dorman O’Leary labored tirelessly to make his students understand the importance of originality and of apt expression in English composition.

Frank Lloyd Wright : The Early Years : Progressivism : Aesthetics : Cities
Frank Lloyd Wright : The Early Years : Progressivism : Aesthetics : Cities examines Wright's belief that all aspects of human life must embrace and celebrate an aesthetic experience that would thereby lead to necessary social reforms.

The book also studies how his design method was applied to city planning and implications of historical and theoretical contexts of the period that surely influenced all of Wright's community and city planning.
