Book excerpt: Lennox Lewis - Britain s first heavyweight champion this century - is a man of paradoxes. In the ring, he is the ruthless boxer and brilliant technician that even Mike Tyson once paid to avoid; out of it, his favourite hobby is chess. Born and brought up in Britain to the age of twelve, it was nevertheless for Canada that he won an Olympic gold medal. Written-off as a has-been following defeat by Oliver McCall, he came back triumphantly to regain his title after years in the wilderness. Lennox Lewis explains the man behind the headlines. It describes his troubled childhood in London's East End, and speaks about the hurt of his separation from his mother Violet, who had no choice but to leave her sons behind as she built a new life for them in Canada. It tells how Lewis came to boxing and documents his relentless drive for success. Most of all, Lennox Lewis shows what it needs - from ferocity in the ring to ruthless wheeler-dealing outside it - to become a world champion. It shows how if any man is equipped to achieve the elusive goal of heavyweight title reunification, Lennox Lewis is that man.

Book excerpt: Lennox Lewis likes to present a cool exterior. World heavyweight champion, the most successful British boxer of all time, his country's richest sportsman, and yet after two decades in the public eye he remains a reclusive enigma. But beneath the dreadlocks and behind the shades is a highly competitive, opinionated and passionate man who has experienced deep emotional pain and isolation along with all the elation of triumph. His early years in the East End of London saw an uneven mix of security and chaos - six good years with his mother Violet, and six bad years shuttled between aunts and care homes, before finally being re-united with his mum in Kitchener, Canada. His professional career pitted him against opponents inside and outside the ring: Riddick Bowe, Mike Tyson and Don King, before he secured his place at the top of the pile. Now, finally, he has made it and he's ready to take his mother's advice of retirement, marriage, family and a new career as a global entrepreneur. Mama's Boy is a compelling story of success and failure, of love and hatred, betrayal and affirmation, in Britain and America, Canada and Jamaica.

Book excerpt: Facing Tyson gives a ringside view of the world's most dangerous and notorious boxer. Brutal, controversial, and always newsworthy both inside and outside the ring, Mike Tyson remains a cultural icon to this day. Despite the personal, legal, and mental problems that have overshadowed his celebrated boxing career, he continues to make headlines as a fascinating, yet extremely flawed character. Several of the era's biggest names in boxing, including Pinklon Thomas, Tyrell Biggs, Evander Holyfield, and Lennox Lewis were interviewed by author Ted A. Kluck specifically for Facing Tyson. Each opponent gives his account of what it was like to face the most feared and loathed boxer at different stages of his career. .

Book excerpt: Boxing fans love the upset, seeing the underdog surprise the heavy favorite and take the fight to him, winning over the fans and--perhaps even more important--the judges. Sylvester Stallone mined that emotion through his long series of Rocky films. Rocky is fiction, however. The men in Rocky Lives! are real. David E. Finger, a writer for top boxing website FightNews.com, presents chronologically seventy-five heavyweight boxing upsets of the 1990s. Some involve boxers still fighting today; others contain a cautionary tale of once-great boxers chasing one last payday. There are also the early-round disasters of wannabes and athletes who switched to boxing in midstream. From the Tyson-Douglas, Foreman-Moorer, and Lewis-McCall top-dollar fights to low-level curiosities like former New York Jet Mark Gastineau getting embarrassed or Eric "Butterbean" Esch taking to the ring, David Finger presents the best heavyweight upsets the 1990s have to offer. You'll read about crooked promoters drugging opponents, a convicted felon hoping victory in the ring will win him leniency, and a forty-five-year-old preacher looking to exorcise a two-decade-old demon. Rocky Lives! brings all the knockouts and slugfests right into your home.

Book excerpt: If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science. In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully. This book evaluates the evidence of modern science in relation to the debate between the atheistic and theistic interpretations of the universe, and provides a fresh basis for discussion. The chapters include: War of the worldviews The scope and limits of science Reduction, reduction, reduction... Designer universe Designer biosphere The nature and scope of evolution The origin of life The genetic code and its origin Matters of information The monkey machine and, The origin of information. Now updated and expanded, God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

Book excerpt: Be sure to check out IRON AMBITION: My Life with Cus D’Amato by Mike Tyson “Raw, powerful and disturbing—a head-spinning take on Mr. Tyson's life.”—Wall Street Journal Philosopher, Broadway headliner, fighter, felon—Mike Tyson has defied stereotypes, expectations, and a lot of conventional wisdom during his three decades in the public eye. Bullied as a boy in the toughest, poorest neighborhood in Brooklyn, Tyson grew up to become one of the most ferocious boxers of all time—and the youngest heavyweight champion ever. But his brilliance in the ring was often compromised by reckless behavior. Yet—even after hitting rock bottom—the man who once admitted being addicted “to everything” fought his way back, achieving triumphant success as an actor and newfound happiness and stability as a father and husband. Brutal, honest, raw, and often hilarious, Undisputed Truth is the singular journey of an inspiring American original.

From can't-miss prospects like Cal Ripken, Jr. and Jose Canseco to some of the most colorful players in the minors, like Joe Charboneau, Bo Jackson, Chipper Jones, and Derrek Lee, Never a Bad Game: Fifty-Plus Years of the Southern League is a fascinating account of the people who make baseball what it is.

Finley, Jim Bouton, Michael Jordan, Cal Ripken, Jr., and the legendary Joe Charboneau. Mark McCarter is a former sports reporter and columnist who began covering the Southern League in 1976 for the Chattanooga News-Free Press. He is the author of Pandamonium: Engineering Pro Baseball's Return to the Rocket City, the story of the Rocket City Trash Pandas' arrival in north Alabama, to be published in the fall of 2020 by August Publications. A four-time Alabama Sportswriter of the Year and four times the Southern League Writer of the Year, he lives in Huntsville with his wife Patricia. He has been inducted into the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame and the Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame, a bittersweet honor when he learned it was for his writing-not for having led the Brainerd Dixie Youth League in home runs in 1966.
