"Nobody wrote about boxing with more grace and enthusiasm than
Joe Liebling."--New York Times

"In The Sweet Science--in all his books--Liebling himself, the voice and
the character, is immensely appealing."--New Yorker

This collection of A. J. Liebling's classic New Yorker pieces on the "sweet
science of bruising" brings vividly to life the boxing world as it once was. It depicts
the great events of boxing's American heyday: Sugar Ray Robinson's dramatic
comeback, Rocky Marciano's rise to prominence, Joe Louis's unfortunate decline.
Liebling never fails to find the human story behind the fight, and he evokes the
atmosphere in the arena as distinctly as he does the goings-on in the ring--a
combination that prompted Sports Illustrated to name The Sweet
Science
the best American sports book of all time.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
