ebooks Download

Mention the name Muhammad Ali and people the world over will know exactly who you're talking about. The former heavyweight champion is one of the most recognized and beloved sports figures of the past century. In the ring, he made an impact with his powerful fists and lightning quick feet. Outside the ring, he earned a reputation as a good-natured, free-spoken personality who liked to make up poems about how he planned to beat his next opponent. Yet Muhammad Ali was much more than a boxer and a braggart. He emerged during the tumultuous 60s as a man with strong spiritual convictions and an unwavering belief in the importance of the Civil Rights movement. Today he continues to support charitable causes and peace efforts even as he fights a new and more daunting opponent-a debilitating syndrome that has impaired his speech and motor control. Though he can no longer ``dance like a butterfly'' or ``sting like a bee,'' to sports lovers everywhere, he is still ``the greatest.'' Get to know a true legend.

He was entertaining. His fast moves in the boxing ring and hard punches thrilled sports fans. Even outside the ring his conversation that was both serious and humorous delighted and drew the attention of people everywhere. And why not? He was one of the greatest sports celebrities.Now Matt Christopher shares with kids of all ages the life and legacy of Muhammad Ali, a person loved by people all over the world.Every kid will love this book, I strongly recommend it, give it five stars, and I'm Marvin P. Ferguson, author of Boys On The Gold Coast.

Muhammad Ali's life and his legacy is something that should be passed on to our children and our children's children.Without a doubt he was "The Greatest" inside the boxing ring, but considering his life and his accomplishments outside the ring as well as inside the ring are makings of a legend, to say the least. The effect he had on my life as a child and later as an adult was tremendous.Teaching our children how to deal with adversity and challenges that seem to be impossible to overcome is much easier if we use a real legend's life story to guide them.This is truly a must read for everyone, regardless of being a fan of sports or Boxing in particular. He is indeed the Greatest, and Matt Christopher portraying that in his book was remarkable.http://www..com/gp/product/031610843X/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title
