The One Is Jack Hurley is an epic, 3-volume, bio-history of boxing's Golden Age, beginning with Jack Dempsey in the 1910s and ending with George Foreman in 1970, as filtered through the life of Jack Hurley. Hurley began in Fargo just before World War I, worked in New York & Chicago from the mid-1920s through the '40s, and settled in Seattle in 1950. Hurley's life, more than any other, personifies boxing's journey out of the backrooms and bars of the 1900s, to the arenas and stadiums of the 1920s, '30s, & '40s, and into the parlors and family TV rooms of the 1950s & '60s. It is a history not only of one man's life but of the sport itself, a tale long neglected only because his career was so long and multifaceted. Volume 3, Deacon Jack and the dawn of major-league sports in Seattle, begins with Hurley's move to Seattle in 1950 as manager of Harry (Kid) Matthews. Jack's success with Matthews and with the Patterson-Rademacher heavyweight title bout in 1957 make him Seattle's most famous sports personality. For the next 15 years he enjoys celebrity status as boxing's elder statesman.

During the 1930s, the world of photography was unsettled, exciting, and boisterous. John Raeburn's A Staggering Revolution recreates the energy of the era by surveying photography's rich variety of innovation, exploring the aesthetic and cultural achievements of its leading figures, and mapping the paths their pictures blazed public's imagination. While other studies of thirties photography have concentrated on the documentary work of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), no previous book has considered it alongside so many of the decade's other important photographic projects. A Staggering Revolution includes individual chapters on Edward Steichen's celebrity portraiture; Berenice Abbott's Changing New York project; the Photo League's ethnography of Harlem; and Edward Weston's western landscapes, made under the auspices of the first Guggenheim Fellowship awarded to a photographer. It also examines Margaret Bourke-White's industrial and documentary pictures, the collective undertakings by California's Group f.64, and the fashion magazine specialists, as well as the activities of the FSA and the Photo League.

Say hello to the world's only undefeated heavyweight champion, a guy called Rocky Marciano, who defied physical limitations - 'He's too small, too short, too light, too old.' With just a 67-inch reach, two left feet and under six feet tall, tough, hard-hitting Marciano blasted his way to 49 wins, 43 inside the distance. He was impervious to pain: you could knock him down but you couldn't knock him out. Marciano KO'd Jersey Joe Walcott in a 1952 thriller to become world champion. Defending his title five times, he brought the million-dollar gate back to boxing in 1955 when he crushed Archie Moore in his final fight. He then criss-crossed America making public appearances, for cash only. He built a network of friends, businessmen and Mob guys who willingly paid his way, fed him, dressed him and flew him around. And that's how he died, hitching a ride in a plane that crashed in an Iowa cornfield in 1969, on the eve of his 46th birthday. His mantra was, 'If you want to live a full life, then live dangerously.' Rocky did that, all right!
