On December 11, 1981, Muhammad Ali slumped on a chair in the cramped, windowless locker room of a municipal baseball field outside Nassau. A phalanx of sportswriters had pushed and shoved their way into this tiny, breeze-blocked space. In this most unlikely of settings, they had come to record the last moments of the most storied of all boxing careers. They had come to intrude upon the grief. “It’s over,” mumbled Ali. “It’s over.” The show that had entertained and wowed from Zaire to Dublin, from Hamburg to Manila, finally ended its twenty-one-year run, the last performance not so much off-Broadway, more amateur theatre in the boondocks. In Drama in the Bahamas, Dave Hannigan tells the occasionally poignant, often troubling, yet always entertaining story behind Ali’s last bout. Through interviews with many of those involved, he discovers exactly how and why, a few weeks short of his fortieth birthday, a seriously diminished Ali stepped through the ropes one more time to get beaten up by Trevor Berbick. “Two billion people will be conscious of my fight,” said Ali, trotting out the old braggadocio about an event so lacking in luster that a cow bell was pressed in to service to signal the start and end of each round. How had it come to this? Why was he still boxing? Hannigan answers those questions and many more, offering a unique and telling glimpse into the most fascinating sportsman of the twentieth century in the last, strange days of his fistic life.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On December 29, 1980, the Nevada State Athletic Commission held a hearing to decide whether or not Muhammad Ali would ever box again. The evidence against him was overwhelming. #2 Ali's attorneys tried to prevent the hearing by offering to surrender his license in Nevada, but the commission still voted to retire him. Ali began entertaining the crowd with magic tricks. #3 The fight in Las Vegas was stopped early by the Nevada commission, which accepted Ali’s surrender of his license, and he agreed not to apply for a license to box in the state again. But who had the power to make him stop. #4 Ali was interviewed by the BBC, and while he seemed in good spirits, his speech was often unintelligible. His fans were afraid that he might become a shambling wreck if he kept boxing.

Available in English for the first time, Modern Armenian Drama presents seven classic works from the Armenian stage. Spanning over a century (1871–1992), the plays explore such diverse themes science and religion, socioeconomic injustice, women's emancipation, and political reform through the medium of all the major European dramatic genres. Nishan Parlakian and S. Peter Cowe provide a comprehensive introduction to the history of Armenian drama, giving a valuable overview of its importance and development in Armenia, as well as a brief biography for each playwright. A preface to each play helps in placing the work within the context of historical and cultural issues of the time. Like the plays of Ibsen and O'Neill, the plays presented in this anthology are considered modern classics. They have an enduring quality and appeal to audiences who see them today. The editors have collected translations of the best examples of Armenian theater from its renaissance in the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

Based on a true story, Mamas' Drama takes place from 1929 to 2004. It shares the experiences of four generations as they move through the "mama's baby, daddy's maybe" condition, which occurs when the identity of the father is questionable. This story begins in Harriman, Tennessee when main character, Josephine Stewart, is almost 8 years old. Josephine loves and cherishes her daddy, Thomas Sr. Her Mama, Millie, reveals to her that Thomas is not her biological father, and that she is born from an extramarital affair Millie had with the mayor of the small town. This revelation turns Josephine's world upside down, and she struggles with feelings that her daddy will not love her the same. The Stewart family migrates to Columbus, Ohio in 1934. Three years later, Josephine meets and eventually marries the love of her life; an older man named George Price. Their marriage is challenged by extramarital affairs. There are nine Price children in George and Josephine's family, including children born as a result of Josephine's indiscretions. Josephine chooses to keep their fathers' identities secret. Suzette, one of her daughters, feels she is a product of her mother's indiscretions, and seeks to find the truth about her biological father. Suzette's siblings taunt her about the identity of her father, and others tell her that she is not George's child. Suzette later determines to break the generational "mama's baby, daddy's maybe" condition. She marries and has a son, Devon, who becomes a single dad while in college. Mamas' Drama is a universal story, and is realistic historical fiction at its best. Compelling and inspiring, it weaves the actions and consequences of guilt and shame. Emotions are unbridled as this poignant, yet sometimes humorous book cries out stories most people only whisper. Healing, forgiveness, love and redemption lie within these pages, and those who are directly or indirectly affected by the "mama's baby, daddy's maybe" condition can relate to the words written in this book.
