Beautiful Brutality: The Family Ties at the Heart of Boxing - Adam Smith - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Boxing. The Sport of Kings. And for every king, there are kingmakers and princes, determined heirs and ruthless pretenders to the throne. Boxers may enter the ring alone, but behind them are their families, many of whom have spent a career in the fight game themselves. And all are caught up in this most beautiful but brutal of sports. Beautiful Brutality is the first book to examine the world of boxing from the perspective of family. With unprecedented access to the likes of the Calzaghes, Mayweathers, Hattons and Khans, Sky Sports boxing expert Adam Smith lays bare the raw emotion at the heart of the sport. How does it feel when your son is taking a pummelling? Can a father make rational judgements from the corner of the ring, in the frenzied atmosphere of a fight? And how much strength does a boxer take from his family, or the family figures that so many trainers and promoters become?Passionate, hard-hitting and with astonishing revelations about the world of boxing, Beautiful Brutality is written from the heart, by an author with a unique knowledge and experience of the fight game.

Four Kings - George Kimball - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Four Kings - George Kimball - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Sports fans and boxing enthusiasts alike will love this compelling study of the resurgence of boxing in the early 1980s - and the four ''greats'' who effected that change. Four Kings captures the contests, fighters and the period with a wonderful perception and vividly conjures up those by-gone smoky and raucous ringside nights in Vegas... ''Thrilling, insightful and often humourous'' - The Independent '' A flawless and singular account of fights that remain potent and important decades after the final bell'' - Irish Times ''A fascinating read'' - ***** Reader review ''Very rarely is a non-fiction book so riveting it''s almost impossible to put down but this is one of those books'' - ***** Reader review ''Beautifully written and absolutely fascinating'' - ***** Reader review ''Outstanding'' - ***** Reader review *****************************************************************************By the late 1970s, boxing had lapsed into a moribund state and interest in it was on the wane. In 1980, however, the sport was resuscitated by a riveting series of bouts involving an improbably dissimilar quartet: Sugar Ray Leonard , Marvellous Marvin Hagler , Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran .Like Ali and Frazier, Dempsey and Tunney, Robinson and LaMotta, the ''Four Kings of the Ring'' brought out the best in each other, producing unprecedented multi-million-dollar gates along the way. Each of the nine bouts between the four men was memorable in its own way and at least two of them - Leonard-Hearns in 1981 and Hagler-Hearns in 1985 - are commonly included on any list of the greatest fights of all time . The controversial outcome of another - the 1987 Leonard-Hagler fight - remains the subject of heated debates amongst fans to this day . In Four Kings , award-winning journalist George Kimball documents the remarkable effect they had on the sport and argues that we will never see their likes again. Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran didn''t set out to save boxing from itself in the post-Ali era, but somehow they managed to do so.

The Private Life of the Hare - John Lewis Stempel - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Private Life of the Hare - John Lewis Stempel - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR NATURE LOVERS ‘To see a hare sit still as stone, to watch a hare boxing on a frosty March morning, to witness a hare bolt . . . these are great things. Every field should have a hare.’ The hare, a night creature and country-dweller, is a rare sight for most people. We know them only from legends and stories. They are shape-shifters, witches’ familiars and symbols of fertility. They are arrogant, as in Aesop’s The Hare and the Tortoise , and absurd, as in Lewis Carroll’s Mad March Hare. In the absence of observed facts, speculation and fantasy have flourished. But real hares? What are they like? In The Private Life of the Hare , John Lewis-Stempel explores myths, history and the reality of the hare. And in vivid, elegant prose he celebrates how, in an age when television cameras have revealed so much in our landscape, the hare remains as elusive and magical as ever.
