    Hardback. Condition: New. It takes a certain kind of person to do whatever is necessary to make a living as a mixed martial arts fighter. And it takes another kind of person to stand out from all the rest as both a wild man and a rock star. Chris Leben, otherwise known as The Crippler," is that kind of person.Leben's reputation started when he appeared on the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show and competition where hopeful fighters live together and vie for a UFC contract and a path to greatness. He quickly made a name for himself with his controversial and abrasive behavior. During his subsequent ten-year career in ultimate fighting, Leben became one of the most recognized figures in the sport, enthralling audiences around the world with his wild, head-first style of fighting as he took on some of the world's best fighters, including Anderson Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Wanderlei Silva.But Leben's success in the ring and international fame hid a troubled background. Abandoned by his father at a young age, Leben's mother worked long hours to raise him and his two siblings, and Leben learned early he had to be tough to fend for himself. For most of his life, Leben struggled with alcohol and narcotics, and he was suspended by the UFC for nine months for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The Crippler is not just an exciting account of his rise to prominence within the UFC; it's the incredible story of a renowned wild man dealing with his personal demons and learning that the toughest opponent is always yourself.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.…

    Paperback. Condition: New. It takes a certain kind of person to stand out from other mixed martial arts fighters as both a wild man and a rock star. Chris Leben, otherwise known as "The Crippler," is that kind of person. His reputation started on the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show where hopeful fighters vie for a UFC contract and a path to greatness. The world saw an out-of-control brawler with a penchant for destruction. But that was only half the story. From the slums of northwest Oregon, Leben has spent a lifetime coping with deep scars left by an absent father and ever-present struggles with alcoholism and drug abuse. He's been in jail eleven times, including for going AWOL. During his ten-year career in ultimate fighting, Leben became one of the most recognized figures in the sport, enthralling audiences around the world with his wild, headfirst style of fighting as he took on some of the world's best fighters, including Anderson Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Wanderlei Silva.

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Lilly will ihre Ferien bei Oma verbringen - da trifft sie Flori: einen sprechenden Regenbogenwurm. Einst bunt und kraftvoll, ist er heute blass und schwach. Denn Beton, Abgase und Hitze haben in der Stadt die Natur fast komplett verdrängt und damit Flori die Lebensgrundlage geraubt. Lilly ist entschlossen, ihrem neuen Freund zu helfen. Zusammen mit Oma (die ein geheimnisvolles altes Buch besitzt) beginnt eine unglaubliche Reise: Denn nur in besonderen Städten, die heute schon in der Zukunft leben, können die drei die Zutaten finden, aus denen Oma vielleicht ein Heilmittel für Flori brauen kann. Opa stattet Lilly dafür mit einem abenteuerlich gepackten Rucksack aus. Ihr erstes Ziel ist Kopenhagen. Hier erfährt Lilly, wie ein verliebter Architekt die 'lebenswerteste Stadt der Welt' geschaffen hat - mit Radwegen, Plätzen zum Verweilen und frischer Luft. In Gent erleben sie den Mut eines Bürgermeisters, der seine Innenstadt in nur drei Tagen komplett veränderte. In Utrecht kämpfen Bürger jahrelang dafür, dass ein zugeschütteter Fluss wieder zum Leben erwacht. Unterwegs wird Flori immer schwächer, fasst aber neuen Mut. In Paris macht die Liebe ihnen fast einen Strich durch die Rechnung - und ist am Ende eine weitere Zutat für die Rettung. Und in Tübingen müssen sie ein Rätsel lösen. Können Lilly, Flori und Oma rechtzeitig alle Zutaten sammeln, mit denen sie nicht nur Flori, sondern auch die Regenbogenwürmer insgesamt retten können Und was haben die Regenbogenwürmer mit uns Menschen gemeinsam Und vor allem: Warum sind diese Städte der Zukunft so wichtig für uns alle Eine spannende, herzerwärmende Abenteuergeschichte über Freundschaft, Mut und die Frage, wie wir unsere Zukunft lebenswerter machen können.

    Hardback. Condition: New. It takes a certain kind of person to do whatever is necessary to make a living as a mixed martial arts fighter. And it takes another kind of person to stand out from all the rest as both a wild man and a rock star. Chris Leben, otherwise known as The Crippler," is that kind of person.Leben's reputation started when he appeared on the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show and competition where hopeful fighters live together and vie for a UFC contract and a path to greatness. He quickly made a name for himself with his controversial and abrasive behavior. During his subsequent ten-year career in ultimate fighting, Leben became one of the most recognized figures in the sport, enthralling audiences around the world with his wild, head-first style of fighting as he took on some of the world's best fighters, including Anderson Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Wanderlei Silva.But Leben's success in the ring and international fame hid a troubled background. Abandoned by his father at a young age, Leben's mother worked long hours to raise him and his two siblings, and Leben learned early he had to be tough to fend for himself. For most of his life, Leben struggled with alcohol and narcotics, and he was suspended by the UFC for nine months for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The Crippler is not just an exciting account of his rise to prominence within the UFC; it's the incredible story of a renowned wild man dealing with his personal demons and learning that the toughest opponent is always yourself.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.
