Oliver Bateman of 'The Ringer' describes Brute Power as "A no-holds-barred autobiography of one of the towering titans of the territorial age. Brute Power takes readers behind the curtain. McGraw pulled his punches in the ring, but doesn't in this excellent book. He'll tell you who he liked, who he hated, and about the time he hunted for kangaroos with midget wrestlers." Don Davies of 'SLAM! Wrestling' reviewed Brute Power and said "Brute Power does a great job of following Davis' career from a young inexperienced wrestler to a main eventer at Madison Square Garden in New York. Unlike some other autobiographies that do not pull the curtain far back during their time in the '60s to '80s, McGraw's autobiography pulls the curtain back on the wrestling business during his time where kayfabe was enforced."

The result of four years of research, the book offers the real story of how the United States obtained the rights to build the Canal through financial speculation, fraud, and an international conspiracy that brought down a French republic and a Colombian government, created the Republic of Panama, rocked the invincible President Roosevelt with corruption scandals, and gave birth to U.S. imperialism in Latin America. "... A new view of the history of Panama based on a thorough investigation..." The Miami Nuevo Herald “A fascinating telling of this scandalous true story.” Goodreads“…a well documented example…in an informative, interesting, and even exciting style.” Choice “Well told and gripping. Espino does valuable work in pulling together disparate sources to tell a story that should provoke popular discussion and possibly more intensive study of the period and events.” Perspectives on Political Science“A case study of how financial and political interests combine to determine and profit from U.S. foreign policy.” World Wide Works “The roles of Theodore Roosevelt… and Wall Street are highlighted, with clear attention to their immediate motives--profit and power.” Book News “An intriguing look into the treachery, behind-the-scenes financial wrangling and Roosevelt-era dollar diplomacy that resulted in not only the Panama Canal but the establishment of Panama as an independent nation (and some few making a lot of money). Longitud“Díaz Espino’s book grips like a thriller. ” America Economía“…not a story told in American history text books.” Book Ideas

This is the true story about how one, little orphaned burrowing owl brought five children and their parents together on a mission to care for him as best they could back in 1967. While taking care of, Reggie, we learned that—there’s no such thing as an ordinary day with a burrowing owl around. This is not just a story for children, but the whole family and though our days revolved around Reggie, it was the unique way Reggie impacted ours and those around us ordinary lives which makes this story so special. We hope you will find it so as well."Populations of burrowing owls are declining in some areas due to pesticide use, poisoning of prairie dog colonies, and automobile collisions. Conservation concerns differ by region, and in various states they are listed as endangered, threatened, or as a species of concern. They also are of conservation concern in Canada and Mexico."
