Essentially the last of the bare-knuckle heavyweight champions, John L. Sullivan was instrumental in the acceptance of gloved fighting. His charisma and popular appeal during this transitional period contributed greatly to making boxing a nationally popular, "legitimate" sport. Sullivan became boxing's first superstar and arguably the first of any sport. From his first match in the late 1870s through his final championship fight in 1892, this biography contains a thoroughly researched, detailed accounting of John L. Sullivan's boxing career. With special attention to the 1880s, the decade during which Sullivan came to prominence, it follows Sullivan's skill development and discusses his opponents and fights in detail, providing various viewpoints of a single event. Beginning with a discussion of early boxing practices, the sport itself is placed within sociological, legal and historical contexts including anti-prize fighting laws and the so-called "color line." A complete record of Sullivan's career is also included.

In this book one will find the blue print for the reversal of diabetes. One will also find an explanation of what diabetes is and why so many are struggling with it today. When beginning this journey it would be smart to have a well-trained medical doctor in your corner. They can appropriately guide you with the best way to discontinue medication. They can also monitor your progress and alert you in case of any complications along the way. Most individuals in our health care community are dedicated and caring. It is the medical establishment that should be distrusted. Those who mandate what are acceptable treatments, acceptable drugs, and acceptable diseases. Those that claim to use the latest in scientific research, while producing fraudulent studies hiding troubling data and ghost writing reviews in scientific journals. Yet, they readily point the finger at other health care providers as quacks and charlatans, while most of their medical procedures and drug therapies have little to no scientific basis, including heart bypass surgery. They ridicule nutritional approaches, while promoting drugs for off label purposes, receiving kickbacks, and falsely advertising drug dangers. They go about scaring people into believing the only way that they can be treated is through pharmaceuticals or surgery. These same individuals persecute anyone who dares challenge their view. Why should these organizations of deceit be the guardians of healthcare?There is another way, a better way: One that involves integrations of the healing arts, one that encourages debate, free thinking, and ideas. When this occurs miracles happen!

John Jeremiah Sullivan takes us on a funhouse hall-of-mirrors ride through the other side of America - to the Ozarks for a Christian rock festival; to Florida to meet the straggling refugees of MTV's Real World; to Indiana to investigate the formative years of Michael Jackson and Axl Rose and then to the Gulf Coast in the wake of Katrina - and back again as its residents confront the BP oil spill. Simultaneously channeling the gonzo energy of Hunter S. Thompson and the wit and insight of Joan Didion, Sullivan - with a laidback, erudite Southern charm that's all his own - shows us how America really (no, really) lives now.

A People Magazine Top 10 Best Books of the Year • The New York Times best-selling author of Maine returns with an exhilarating novel about Frances Gerety, the real pioneering ad woman who coined the famous slogan “A Diamond is Forever,” and four unique marriages that will test how true—or not—those words might be. "Sullivan is a born storyteller. Like its mineral muse, Engagements shines."—Entertainment Weekly Evelyn has been married to her husband for forty years, but their son’s messy divorce has put them at rare odds; James, a beleaguered paramedic, has spent most of his marriage haunted by his wife’s family’s expectations; Delphine has thrown caution to the wind and left a peaceful French life for an exciting but rocky romance in America; and Kate, partnered with Dan for a decade, has seen every kind of wedding and has vowed never, ever, to have one of her own. As the stories connect to each other and to Frances’s legacy in surprising ways, The Engagements explores the complicated ins and outs of relationships, then, now, and forever.
