Josephus Daniels
As a longtime leader of the Democratic Party and key member of Woodrow Wilson's cabinet, Josephus Daniels was one of the most influential progressive politicians in the country, and as secretary of the navy during the First World War, he became one of the most important men in the world. Before that, Daniels revolutionized the newspaper industry in the South, forever changing the relationship between politics and the news media. Lee A. Craig, an expert on economic history, delves into Daniels's extensive archive to inform this nuanced and eminently readable biography, following Daniels's rise to power in North Carolina and chronicling his influence on twentieth-century politics. A man of great contradictions, Daniels--an ardent prohibitionist, free trader, and Free Silverite--made a fortune in private industry yet served as a persistent critic of unregulated capitalism. He championed progressive causes like the graded public school movement and antitrust laws even as he led North Carolina's white supremacy movement. Craig pulls no punches in his definitive biography of this political powerhouse.

Abracadabra, Que Pare la Maldición!
Esta es la historia de una gran mentira entre los miembros de una familia de clase media: los Daniels. El rumbo de sus vidas cambia drásticamente a causa de un matrimonio y el nacimiento de un hijo. La dependencia al alcohol de los Daniels, la malsana influencia de los Powell y el fracaso espiritual de un sacerdote, derrumba la frágil estructura que sostiene a nuestros personajes que caen atrapados en una telaraña de intriga entretejida con deslealtad, venganza y lujuria. Abrumados por el devastador resultado de sus propios actos, no comprenden sino hasta muy tarde, que han sido ellos mismos las únicas víctimas, por querer controlar el destino de otros con el único propósito de satisfacer sus malsanas intenciones. Por estar reducidos a vivir en perenne turbiedad no sospechan que la reconciliación y redención interna estuvieron esperando desde un principio y sin sospecharlo detrás del amor.
