Softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Illustrator: Photographic. Book Description\n\nThis unforgettable account of Muhammad Ali's rise and self-creation, told by a Pullitzer Prize-winning writer, places Ali in a heritage of great American originals. David Remnick concentrates on Ali's early career, when he was still fighting as Cassius Clay. The book begins in September 1962 with the fight between Floyd Patteson and Sonny Liston, providing a remarkable sociological backdrop to Ali's entrance on the boxing scene. Remnick then describes Clay's 1964 fight with Liston, which even his own people thought Clay couldn't win, and takes us through to 1967 when Ali refused the military draft to Vietnam. This is much more than a sports book. It is a study of the rise of the black voice in the American consciousness and a look at how the media creates its heroes - Cassius Clay began as a 'light-hitting loudmouth' before becoming gradually canonized by the American press and public as Muhammad Ali. KING OF THE WORLD takes us back to the days when his life was a series of battles, inside the ring and out. A master storyteller at the height of his powers, David Remnick has written a book worthy of America's most dynamic moden hero.\n\nEditorial Reviews\n\n Review\nYou'd think there wouldn't be much left to say about a living icon like Muhammad Ali, yet David Remnick imbues King of the World with all the freshness and vitality this legendary fighter displayed in his prime. Beginning with the pre-Ali days of boxing and its two archetypes, Floyd Patterson (the good black heavyweight) and Sonny Liston (the bad black heavyweight), Remnick deftly sets the stage for the emergence of a heavyweight champion the likes of which the world had never seen: a three-dimensional, Technicolor showman, fighter and minister of Islam, a man who talked almost as well as he fought. But mostly Remnick's portrait is of a man who could not be confined to any existing stereotypes, inside the ring or out.\n\nIn extraordinary detail, Remnick depicts Ali as a creation of his own imagination as we follow the willful and mercurial young Cassius Clay from his boyhood and watch him hone and shape himself to a figure who would eventually command center stage in one of the most volatile decades in our history. To Remnick it seems clear that Ali's greatest accomplishment is to prove beyond a doubt that not only is it possible to challenge the implacable forces of the establishment (the noir-ish, gangster-ridden fight game and the ethos of a whole country) but, with the right combination of conviction and talent, to triumph over these forces. --Fred Haefele --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.\n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\n"I ain't got no quarrel with them Vietcong," Ali said in 1967 on refusing to be drafted. He was sentenced to five years in prison, and though the Supreme Court would overturn his conviction four years later, principle lost himAtemporarilyAhis title, big bucks, the support of many admirers and the best years of his fighting life. Vietnam postdates most of New Yorker editor Remnick's (Lenin's Tomb) coverage, as he writes little about Ali in the post-Sonny Liston era. At its best, the book recalls the boxing writings of A.J. Liebling, while Remnick's frequent use of Ali's hilarious "rapper" doggerel adds to the melancholy humor through which he describes the Louisville kid who beat gambling odds on the way to the heavyweight title but couldn't beat the medical odds. "The history of [prize] fighters," Remnick writes, "is the history of men who end up damaged." Only in his middle 50s, the once graceful Ali, last seen worldwide clutching the Atlanta Olympic torch in a trembling hand, is disabled by degenerative Parkinson's disease. To many, though, he was disabled even earlier by his conversion to Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam, which, whatever its controversial separatist image, "orders [Ali's] life and helps him cope with his illness," according to Remnick. The author smartly records Ali's defiant besting of adversaries in and out of the ring and shows him to be a champion human being. 16 pages of b&w photos. \nCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

London: Ebury Press. Paperback 9781785039782 You become a soccer player because you love soccer. And then you are a soccer player, and youre suddenly in the strangest, most baffling world of all. A world where one teammate comes to training in a bright red suit with matching top-hat, cane, and glasses, without any actual glass in them, and another has so many sports cars they forget they have left a Porsche at the train station. Even when their surname is incorporated in the registration plate. So walk with me into the dressing-room, to find out which players refuse to touch a soccer ball before a game, to discover why a load of millionaires never have any shower gel, and to hear what Cristiano Ronaldo says when he looks at himself in the mirror. We will go into post-match interviews, make fools of ourselves on social media, and try to ensure that we never again pay far too much for a haircut that should have cost ten bucks. Well be coached and cajoled by Harry Redknapp, upset Rafa Benitez, and be soothed by the sound of an accordion played by Sven-Goran Eriksson . Very Good.

"In 1873, after answering an appeal by the Bishop of Bloemfontein for teachers and nurses for the Orange Free State, [Henrietta Stockdale] went to the Clewer Hospital and to the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London to study nursing. ... She started her work at Kimberley in 1876 as a district nurse in the mining camps, but by 1877 was assigned as a sister to the Carnarvon Hospital there, where she started the first training school for nurses in South Africa. ... As a result of Stockdale's vision and drive, South Africa became the first country in the world to provide for state registration of both nurses and midwives ... This remarkable woman, who laid the foundation of professional nursing and modern hospital organisation in Southern Africa, was a singularly attractive person, tall, well-built, with a creamy complexion, soft, dark brown hair, blue eyes and a pleasant voice. She was regarded as a saint by some, and as a keen business woman politician by others. She had a fearless approach to the political questions of the day, and never hesitated to enlist the aid of a Royal Princess when she felt that nursing and the care of the sick were threatened." - DSAB II, pp. 716-7. ., (Cape Town: Howard Timmins, 1976) 0869781375, 0, London: Popular Dogs.

Previous owners details on ffep. 207 pages clean and tight. Dudley Wontner-Smith, Our Dogs. 'A great deal of hard work and research has gone into this project which is beautifully presented, and only two people with such a wealth of practical experience behind them could have written with such authority ... I like the simplicity of the style and the chronological flow of information from Louis Dobermann's first beginnings, through every phase of the sport, including breeding, showing, obedience and working ... I feel that the experts will wish to read this book, but its real value will be to the novice and the new owners. Jean Faulks' contribution to the obedience and working side bears out my opinion of her capabilities. She always puts her dog before all other considerations.' Ferelith Hamilton, Dog World. 'With the yearly registrations in Dobermanns now topping 1500, there was certainly a need for an authoritative, accurate and up-to-date British book on the breed. So I am particularly pleased to find that The Dobermann not only fits these requirements but is very well illustrated. I think it is clever of the publishers to allow so much of the book to be devoted to the working side, for it is particularly important that this should not be neglected to retain the true purpose and character of the breed ... Fred Curnow has covered the history, breeding and showing side in a way one would expect from someone who, with his wife, has bred 30 champions.' David Gunston, Gamekeeper and Countryside. 'As a breed, the Dobermann has the reputation of being difficult, which a handsome new book about these dogs by two renowned experts will do much to dispel ... the authors transmit their keenness to their pages, and their admirable joint effort will undoubtedly help to spread the breed's increasing popularity.' ., Popular Dogs, 1979, 2.75<
