Redemption: the Life and Death of Rocky Marciano
Author: John Cameron
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781483960203
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
The first volume of a biography on the former world heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Marciano. Volume One of Three focuses on the fighters life from birth in September of 1923 through to December 1949, paying close attention to his evolution through the Army and brief, but spectacular, amateur career before moving onto the formative stages of a profession that would see him unbeaten. This new second edition brings the authors original concept to print for the first time now complete with images."None of us are perfect. Not even our heroes. Since the death of boxing's only undefeated heavyweight champion in the history of the sport, only six biographers have had the gumption to even attempt to put to page the life story of Rocco Francis Marchegiano, or, Rocky Marciano. And even then, most have either not had access to, looked the other way, or simply glossed over the human struggles that Rocky, like all humans, deal with. Until now. John Cameron has taken the task to show that the heart that beat within the chest of Marciano, the heart that refused to go down to defeat, the heart that overcame seemingly impossible odds, was indeed a human heart. And that doesn't make Rocky less of a hero, but in fact, makes him an even bigger hero, and one more accessable to us. John Cameron is to be commended for going where no one else would dare to go!"Chuck Marbry (Ring Talk Boxing Journalist)"Cameron writes movingly about Rocky's childhood and the lives of his parents, Pierino Marchegiano and Pasqualina Picciuto. Rocky was their miracle baby. Even at a young age the future heavyweight champion of the world revealed traits that would one day distinguish him from other fighters."John J. Raspanti"John Cameron has written a fine book on Rocky Marciano."Ferdie Pacheco"I expected a couple of morsels to nourish and delight, instead I got an epicurean feast of revelations...I think it is safe to say, you know more about Rocky Marciano than anyone."Phil Guarnieri"If you're a fan of one of the most famous fighters ever to put on a pair of gloves, Rocky Marciano, (then) the name John Cameron might become a familiar one to you soon...(the project) is obviously a consuming labour of love for the author"Ian McNeilly (BoxRecNews.com/Boxing Monthly).

Category : Medical care
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
It's a mess out there. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammatory diseases are all on the rise. And even though it seems everyone has answers, incessant sounds bites in the daily news and magazine articles offer little more than superficial, generic advice. Combined with clever marketing intended primarily to sell products, this chaotic and fragmented advice results in a confusing, and typically incorrect, guide to being healthier.How does a person know what's right and what's wrong? How do we separate fact from carefully crafted half-truths? What can we, as individuals, do to be healthier and how can we avoid the most common diseases that plague us today?Don't Die Early is a remarkable framework to guide any of us towards a more aggressive approach to our own healthcare. No matter our age or condition, Don't Die Early is a plan of wellness and longevity, written for the average everyday person who no longer wants to be at the mercy of their provider but wants to take control and become the healthiest that they can."In Don't Die Early, Rocky Angelucci explains the actual science of diet and health in clear, simple language anyone can understand. If you're confused by all the conflicting health advice in the media, read this book. By the time you finish it, you'll probably know more about nutrition and health than your doctor." -Tom Naughton, creator of documentary "Fat Head"

A Way with Words
Author: Daniel Darling
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1535995378
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Social media was made to bring us together. But few things have driven us further apart. Sadly, many Christians are fueling online incivility. Others, exhausted by perpetual outrage and shame-filled from constant comparison, are leaving social media altogether. So, how should Christians behave in this digital age? Is there a better way? Daniel Darling believes we need an approach that applies biblical wisdom to our engagement with social media, an approach that neither retreats from modern technology nor ignores the harmful ways in which Christians often engage publicly. In short, he believes that we can and should use our online conversations for good.

Still Life with Rhetoric
Author: Laurie Gries
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 0874219787
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Winner of the 2016 CCCC Advancement of Knowledge Award and the 2016 CCCC Research Impact Award In Still Life with Rhetoric, Laurie Gries forges connections among new materialism, actor network theory, and rhetoric to explore how images become rhetorically active in a digitally networked, global environment. Rather than study how an already-materialized “visual text” functions within a specific context, Gries investigates how images often circulate and transform across media, genre, and location at viral rates. A four-part case study of Shepard Fairey’s now iconic Obama Hope image elucidates how images reassemble collective life as they actualize in different versions, enter into various relations, and spark a firework of activity across the globe. While intent on tracking the rhetorical life of a single, multiple image, Still Life with Rhetoric is most concerned with studying rhetoric in motion. To account for an image’s widespread circulation and emergent activities, Gries introduces iconographic tracking—a digital research method for tracing an image’s divergent rhetorical becomings. Yet Gries also articulates a dynamic set of theoretical principles for studying rhetoric as a distributed, generative, and unforeseeable event that is applicable beyond the study of visual rhetoric. With an eye toward futurity—the strands of time beyond a thing’s initial moment of production and delivery—Still Life with Rhetoric intends to be taken up by those interested in visual rhetoric, research methods, and theory.

Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Can your dog teach you a thing or two about life? Sharon Langford thinks so. In a series of sixteen stories, she shares the lessons she has learned from a lifetime of rescuing and caring for homeless and injured dogs. Each of the stories prove that as with their human sidekicks, it's not the pedigree that enables these abandoned and neglected individuals to become faithful and congenial companions, it's their souls. Some of the instructions Langford has received from her canine friends include the importance of overcoming rigid beliefs; the necessity of approaching life with strength, will, and tenacity; ways to make the most of there you are; the importance of not comparing yourself to others; and the joy of finding the simple pleasures in life. A treasure trove of memorable character studies, life instruction, and helpful "Rescue Tips," Living with the Rescues is a call to arms for readers to open their hearts and doors to the neediest.
