Max Baer And The Star Of David

Mixing fictional and historical characters this haunting story is about Max Baer's life in and out of the boxing ring.

This book follows the lives and careers of two Jewish boxers, Max Baer and Barney Ross. Fighting in the 1920s and 1930s when anti-Semitism was rampant, American Jews found symbols of strength and courage in these two world champions. This book provides a vivid picture of Baer and Ross as they fought opponents in the ring and prejudice outside it.

Boxing might not have survived the 1930s if not for Max Baer. A contender for every heavyweight championship 1932-1941, California's "Glamour Boy" brought back the "million-dollar gate" not seen since the 1920s. His radio voice sold millions of Gillette razor blades; his leading-man appeal made him a heartthrob in The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). The film was banned in Nazi Germany--Baer had worn a Star of David on his trunks when he TKOed German former champ Max Schmeling. Baer defeated 275-pound Primo Carnera in 1934 for the championship, losing it to Jim Braddock the next year. Contrary to Cinderella Man, (2005), Baer--favored 10 to 1--was not a villain and the fight was more controversial than the film suggested. His battle with Joe Louis three months later drew the highest gate of the decade. This first comprehensive biography covers Baer's complete ring record, his early life, his career on radio, film, stage and television, and his World War II army service.

New York Times Bestseller: This true Depression-era story of a down-and-out fighter’s dramatic comeback is “a delight” (David Halberstam). James J. Braddock was a once promising light heavyweight. But a string of losses in the ring and a broken right hand happened to coincide with the Great Crash of 1929—and Braddock was forced to labor on the docks of Hoboken. Only his manager, Joe Gould, still believed in him. Gould looked out for the burly, quiet Irishman, finding matches for Braddock to help him feed his wife and children. Together, they were about to stage the greatest comeback in fighting history. Within twelve months, Braddock went from being on the relief rolls to facing heavyweight champion Max Baer, renowned for having allegedly killed two men in the ring. A brash Jewish boxer from the West Coast, Baer was heavily favored—but Braddock carried the hopes and dreams of the working class on his shoulders, and when he emerged victorious against all odds, the shock was palpable—and the cheers were deafening. In the wake of his surprise win, Damon Runyon dubbed him “Cinderella Man.” Against the gritty backdrop of the 1930s, Cinderella Man brings this dramatic all-American story to life, telling a classic David and Goliath tale that transcends the sport. “A punchy read with touches of humor.” —The New York Times “A wonderful, thrilling boxing story, and simultaneously a meticulous look at Depression life.” —Jimmy Breslin

For more than sixty years—from the 1890s to the 1950s—boxing was an integral part of American popular culture and a major spectator sport rivaling baseball in popularity. More Jewish athletes have competed as boxers than all other professional sports combined; in the period from 1901 to 1939, 29 Jewish boxers were recognized as world champions and more than 160 Jewish boxers ranked among the top contenders in their respective weight divisions. Stars in the Ring,by renowned boxing historian Mike Silver, presents this vibrant social history in the first illustrated encyclopedic compendium of its kind.

KONSTANTA SUMURUPING GENI NUSANTARA The literal meaning of the word "constant" is "constancy", constant or unchanging In mathematics, "constant" or "constant" is a constant value. Constants are used in various scientific disciplines as opposed to arbitrary "variables". The definition of "variable" includes meaning changeable, not fixed, the declaration of something that has a variety of values ​​in the programming language is also called a symbol that represents a certain value, variables known in sub-programs are called local variables, while those that are known in general / intact in one program are called " Global Variables " "History" or real events in the past is "Certain" not "Variable", only the records are affected by the interests of the "Subjective" in power which makes this uncertain and even "Ambiguous", this must be straightened out. Constant is a type of variable whose value cannot be changed. Value initialization is only done once at the beginning, after which it cannot be changed. Some constants are named according to the name of the discoverer. Examples of constants: ● c (speed of light) = 299,792,458 meters per second ● h (Planck's constant) = 6.626 x 10-34 Joule seconds ● G (constant gravity) = 6.6742 x 10-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 ● Hubble constant = 70 (km / s) / Mpc ● π (pi), the constant of the ratio of the circle to the diameter, the value is close to 3.141592653589793238462643 ... E, the value is close to 2.718281828459045235360287 ... ● φ (golden ratio), the value is close to 1.618033988749894848204586 So "Constant" is "Constant" whose value cannot be changed. Value initialization is only done once at the beginning, after which the value cannot be changed, the number of years in recording real events in history is correct in that year not "Variable" If the determination of the number of years in historical recording is "ambiguous" or can be refuted "truth" then it needs to be corrected and revised ... this is what happened to our country's history recording ... The discoveries at the end of the 20th century showed that the "Cosmological Constant" was needed to explain the existence of "Dark energy" The cosmological constant is the density of space energy or vacuum energy that appears in the field equation in General Relativity. This constant was introduced by Einstein in his theory of "General Relativity" so that the universe remains static Einstein then discarded or abandoned the cosmological constant when observations showed that the universe is expanding or moving to expand "This is the biggest mistake in my life" Einstein, who once modified the nature of the general theory of relativity, felt that he had 'corrupted' his own theory.He regretted so much that the addition of the cosmological constant was the biggest mistake of his life. Naturally, as an ordinary human, Eintein is not free from mistakes, here we learn that mistakes are a very human nature, they can happen to anyone, including scientists of Einstein's caliber. Likewise in the calculation of the year in the recording of historical years in the archipelago, "Konstanta" or the determination of the calculation of the historical year on the inscription with the number of "Saka" which has been calculated as "Must" started in 78 AD, is obsolete, must be discarded or not. used again, because it is proven that there are many historical facts that occurred before that year in the archipelago "Mistakes" or in polite language is "Mistakes" can happen to anyone, including scientists of Einstein's caliber, as well as chroniclers in this country ... that the year 78 AD is the year of the "Saka" nation of the ancestors of the Archipelago nation. that year conquered Raja Salivahana in south India It is not the beginning of the Saka year to calculate the number of years in the "Inscription" of this early calculation of the Saka year, causing our history to be lost before the year 78 AD, in fact there is already an advanced civilization in this country, ... and if this is considered "to the Khilafan". .. so when do we want to be considered a "Primitive" nation ...? That means ... If we have found the numbers "Constants" or "Decisions" in the early years of the calculation of the Saka year in the inscriptions, we will find a lot of real facts that the "History of the Archipelago" is more advanced than what is written today ... The "Sumuruping Geni Constant" is the determination of the return of the bright light from the fire that once lit the world, and the source of that fire has ever occurred and originated in this land. "History" naturally rotates towards the point where it was once passed, and that triumph has occurred and will be repeated again with valid provisions or constants ... so now the time has come for the "Sumuruping Geni Constant" to occur again in this archipelago. ... The generation of this nation will understand who their true ancestors were .... that their ancestors were not "Primitive", did not embrace Animism. Dynamics were also the philosophy of their teachings that colored 3/4 of the earth, which underlies the birth and growth of 3 teachings on Indian soil ... ..
