DOWNLOAD EBOOKBoxing might not have survived the 1930s if not for Max Baer. A contender for every heavyweight championship 1932-1941, California's "Glamour Boy" brought back the "million-dollar gate" not seen since the 1920s. His radio voice sold millions of Gillette razor blades; his leading-man appeal made him a heartthrob in The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). The film was banned in Nazi Germany--Baer had worn a Star of David on his trunks when he TKOed German former champ Max Schmeling. Baer defeated 275-pound Primo Carnera in 1934 for the championship, losing it to Jim Braddock the next year. Contrary to Cinderella Man, (2005), Baer--favored 10 to 1--was not a villain and the fight was more controversial than the film suggested. His battle with Joe Louis three months later drew the highest gate of the decade. This first comprehensive biography covers Baer's complete ring record, his early life, his career on radio, film, stage and television, and his World War II army service.

Stars in the Ring,by renowned boxing historian Mike Silver, presents this vibrant social history in the first illustrated encyclopedic compendium of its kind.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book embraces some scientific methods, innovations, and advanced technologies, which were widely examined, on machine-buildings and ship-repair plants. The main objective of this book is to provide engineers, technical personnel, and managers with some problems, which have place in the process of the production of machines and mechanisms, and to find the ways of solving them. In basis of this task were put such questions as increasing quality production and decreasing its cost. In this book these topics have been organized into three chapters: CHAPTER I presents the most important problems of any engineering industry-this is the decreasing of waste products (such as cast iron bronze, graphite chip or dust, etc) to the environment; and also increasing the reliability of any mechanism and machine for the people in condition of their operation. The author recommends for this goal widely to use the pneumatic transportation and some new innovations. CHAPTER II discovers some advanced technologies in Manufacturing Engineering and shows the effectiveness of some machines and mechanisms. Here also is given big attention to the question of increasing quality production and productivity labor. CHAPTER III relates advantageously to Maritime Engineering and discovery of some progressive methods for the ship-repair plants and also for the ships which sail in condition of waves in the tropical seawaters. This book can be used also for the students or other practicing professional in business, industry, or government. This book includes about 86 illustrations, many innovations, and different advanced technologies. Anatoly I. Rozenblat Member of ASME, SNAME and SME Chicago, USA June, 2001

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMore than any other sport, boxing has a history of being easy to rig. There are only two athletes and one or both may be induced to accept a bribe; if not the fighters, then the judges or referee might be swayed. In such inviting circumstances, the mob moved into boxing in the 1930s and profited by corrupting a sport ripe for exploitation. In Boxing and the Mob: The Notorious History of the Sweet Science, Jeffrey Sussman tells the story of the coercive and criminal underside of boxing, covering nearly the entire twentieth century. He profiles some of its most infamous characters, such as Owney Madden, Frankie Carbo, and Frank Palermo, and details many of the fixed matches in boxing’s storied history. In addition, Sussman examines the influence of the mob on legendary boxers—including Primo Carnera, Sugar Ray Robinson, Max Baer, Carmen Basilio, Sonny Liston, and Jake LaMotta—and whether they caved to the mobsters’ threats or refused to throw their fights. Boxing and the Mob is the first book to cover a century of fixed fights, paid-off referees, greedy managers, misused boxers, and the mobsters who controlled it all. True crime and the world of boxing are intertwined with absorbing detail in this notorious piece of American history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book recuperates the narrative of Andrew Jeptha, a Cape Town-born boxer who was the first black fighter to win a British welterweight title in 1907. As a result of that victory, Jeptha was permanently blinded, and took to preparing a book titled A South African Boxer in Britain (1910). This volume explores the relationship between the life of a pugilist and his textual production, and locates the complex negotiations of a pugilist by situating Jeptha in a larger arc of the ‘care of the self’, extending from Greco-Roman aesthetics to the present. In the process, it investigates the strategies of care that were integral to opposing, confronting and living in the increasingly racialised world of the early 1900s.
