An “exceptional” account of underdog boxer Tony Galento’s surprising 1939 victory against renowned heavyweight champion Joe Louis (The Boston Globe) Beetle-browed, nearly bald, a head that rode his collarbones like a bowling ball returning on rails, his waist size more than half his five-foot-eight height, Two Ton Tony Galento resembled “a taxi driving away with its top down.” By all measures he stood no chance when he stepped into the ring against the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis, the finest heavyweight of his generation. But in Yankee Stadium on a June night in 1939, he entered the record books as one of the few men to put the great Louis down. For two splendid seconds he stood on the mat as the Joe Louis lay before him, champ of the world, the toughest man alive—the mythical hero of a nation little more than a year away from war. “I’ll moida da bum,” he had predicted. And though Louis was no bum, Galento was almost as good as his word. Joe Monninger’s spellbinding portrait of a man, a moment, and an era reminds us that sometimes it is through effort—and not the end result—that people most enduringly define themselves.

Marine general Tony Zinni was known as the "Warrior Diplomat" during his nearly forty years of service. His credentials as a soldier were impeccable, whether he was leading troops in Vietnam, commanding hair-raising rescue operations in Somalia, or - as Commander in Chief of CENTCOM - directing strikes against Iraq and Al Qaeda. But it was as a peacemaker that he made just as great a mark - conducting dangerous troubleshooting missions all over Africa, Asia, and Europe, and then serving as Secretary of State Colin Powell's special envoy to the Middle East, before disagreements over the 2003 Iraq war and its probable aftermath caused him to resign." Battle Ready follows the evolution of both General Zinni and the Marine Corps, from the cauldron of Vietnam through the operational revolution of the '70s and '80s, to the new realities of the post-Cold War, post-9/11 military - a military with a radically different tools for accomplishing it. Opinions differ sharply about just what that job and those tools should be - and General Zinni makes it clear where he stands.

Desde una perspectiva marxista y feminista se abordan las luchas de las mujeres en sus momentos culminantes, empezando con el papel de la mujer en la revolucion inglesa de mediados del siglo xvii, cuando por primera vez florecieron ideas de liberacion de las mujeres y una nueva moralidad sexual, en la revolucion francesa del siglo xviii, en la comuna de paris del siglo xix, en la revolucion rusa de 1917. Se dedican cinco capitulos a los exitos y fracasos en la organizacion de las mujeres trabajadoras en el movimiento socialista, entre 1860 y 1920 en estados unidos, alemania, rusia, francia y el reino unido. Entre 1990 y 1960 la cuestion de la liberacion quedo oculta bajo el peso de la crisis economica. A finales de los 60 y principios de los 70 surgio un nuevo movimiento. Finalmente se contemplan los movimientos contemporaneos de liberacion de mujeres en estados unidos y el reino unido, considerando su composicion social y su modo de accion.

A must read for every boxing fan and for everyone and anyone who has struggled with addiction or knows someone who is currently struggling with any type of addiction.

I also know what it is like to wallow in the deep depths of despair. You hear about stories of romanticized success all the time on the news and in social media. But mine is the story that no one wants to tell. The story of drugs and addiction, the dark side of fame and fortune. It is the story that takes great athletes from the pinnacle of success and plunges them into the darkness of despair. I met many of them in my stints in rehab. It is the story that leads a man to find himself in drug holes and seedy hotels plagued by paranoia. My story started off with one hit of a pipe in the glitz and glamour of a Beverly Hills mansion where a skilled seductress beckoned me to her love cave. It was too heady for me and I succumbed hook, line and sinker. At that time, all I knew was boxing but this encounter opened a whole new world to me. A very dark world filled with untold anguish, inner turmoil, and indescribable pain. This was my story. As you walk with me through the pages of this book you will learn how a 4 year old was taught how to box and went on to win two gold medals and later became a world champion. You will learn what it took to become a great boxing champion. You will also be exposed to some seedy details about celebrity and drug addiction. My story is an up close, in your face, intimate, detailed, and very personal account. You will get to know the champ, Tony "TNT" Tucker. It took years for me to be free and candid enough to share what you will read on the pages of this book. I go into great detail about many of my fights and what goes on behind the scenes. Drug addiction is cruel, harsh and indiscriminate. You quit a thousand times. I was in a fight for my life after life delivered me a knock out blow. But one day I finally looked up and then I got up. Enjoy the journey with me through the pages of this book and in the end you will be encouraged to fight the good fight and learn how to get back up when life knocks you down.

Psychologist Tony Hill and ex-DCI Carol Jordan—the UK crime fighting partners from the TV series Wire in the Blood—face down a serial killer. International bestselling crime writer Val McDermid’s work speaks for itself: her books have sold millions of copies worldwide, won numerous accolades, and attracted a devoted following of readers around the globe. Cross and Burn picks up where The Retribution left off: following the best crime-fighting team in the UK—clinical psychologist Tony Hill and police detective Carol Jordan—who when we last saw them were barely speaking, and whose relationship will now be challenged even further. But just because they’re not talking doesn’t mean the killing stops. Women are being murdered—ones who bear an unsettling resemblance to Carol Jordan. And when the evidence begins to point in a disturbing direction, thinking the unthinkable seems the only possible answer. Cornered by events, Tony and Carol are forced to fight for themselves and each other as never before. “McDermid is as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there . . . She’s the best we’ve got.” —The New York Times Book Review
