He was the head of supervisory programs for the Ministry of Education and Culture in Qatar for twelve years.

Clearly the whole book is a work of industry and extensive
research...much careful research.
*The Arab Review*
Dr. Rich is a prodigious worker. The bibliography, for example, has
to be seen to be believed...[he] has so many of the qualities of
the born scholar beyond that of mere erudition.
*Journal Of The Royal Asiatic Society*
Rich, amid his pharmacy of elixirs, is an enthusiast: ... he
cheerfully evokes old notions of cultural leadership, which
promoted a "secret curriculum" of hegemony.
*The International History Review*
"Imperialism was frequently more reliant on ritual than arms or
money": It is a thesis which Dr. Rich pursues with an impressive
range of detailed scholarly research from a wide field.
*Clive Griggs, University of Brighton*
