Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition. Signed by George Forman on title page. George Foreman is a world boxing champ--and a cookbook author. For his Big Book of Grilling, Barbecue, and Rotisserie, the genial endorser of the widely popular Grilling Machine offers 75 recipes for meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, and more--dishes devised by his coauthor, Barbara Witt. "In this cookbook you will travel with me and visit Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Africa, Latin America, and finally home to America," says Foreman. That's a lot of travel, but Witt's accessible recipes are full of big, exciting flavor and should become favorites of outdoor and indoor grillers alike. Beginning with useful information about grilling equipment--the recipes are tailored to work using rotisseries, open-flame, and indoor and outdoor electric grills--the book then dishes up winners like Kingwood Skirt Steak with Grilled Bananas, Barbecued Spicy Lime and Cilantro Chicken, and Ginger Shrimp with Mango Mayonnaise. A chapter on burgers and pizza offers a particularly innovative assortment of those treats, among them the Open-Face Catfish Burger and grilled pizzas like the knockout (how else to put it?) pie topped with charred red and white onions, prosciutto, and black walnuts. Throughout, the book provides useful tips and nutritional breakdowns for the recipes, which take advantage of the microwave and other timesaving preparation techniques. This is another Foreman winner. --Arthur Boehm. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. x, 262 pages. Illus., slight soiling to DJ. Inscribed by the author (Foreman) on the half-title page. Inscription reads George Foreman Juan Way to go I'm yo Pal. George Edward Foreman (January 10, 1949March 21, 2025) was an American professional boxer, businessman, minister and author. Foreman took up amateur boxing and won a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Summer Olympics. He boxed between 1967 and 1997 and was nicknamed "Big George". He was a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. He was known for the George Foreman Grill. He won the world heavyweight title with a stunning second-round knockout of the then-undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973. He defended the belt twice before suffering his first professional loss to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974. Foreman retired after a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977. Foreman became an ordained Christian minister. In 1994 at age 45 won the unified WBA, IBF, and lineal heavyweight championship titles by knocking out 26-year-old Michael Moorer. At 46 years and 169 days old, he was the oldest world heavyweight champion in history. He retired in 1997 at the age of 48, with a final record of 76 wins (68 knockouts) and 5 losses, one of the famous losses coming at the hands of Muhammad Ali. Foreman was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame and International Boxing Hall of Fame. In 2002, he was named one of the 25 greatest fighters of the past 80 years by The Ring. He was a ringside analyst for HBO's boxing coverage for 12 years until 2004. This autobiography of boxer George Foreman covers his childhood, his boxing days and his religious conversion after leaving boxing a defeated man. Events include the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" fight with Muhammad Ali and his comeback in 1994 to raise money for the Houston Youth Center. THE CANDID AND INSPIRING STORY OF THE RISE OF A GREAT SPORTS LEGEND, FROM HIS THRILLING CONFRONTATIONS IN THE RING TO HIS PRIVATE STRUGGLES TO ACHIEVE SPIRITUAL WHOLENESS. No athlete has captured America's dreams and imagination like George Foreman. In 1968, when he was barely out of his teens, he startled the world by winning an Olympic gold medal in Mexico City. In his early twenties, he destroyed the seemingly invincible Joe Frazier to capture boxing's heavyweight championship. In Zaire, not long after, he was on the opposite end of a startling upset, losing his crown to Muhammad Ali. By 1977, Foreman had quit fighting, undergone a religious conversion, and begun preaching on Texas street corners. Which is where George Foreman's story doesn't end, but begins. A decade later, to raise money for his beloved Houston youth center, he shocked the sports world by returning to the ring. They laughed at this middle-aged man, but George Foreman turned their snickers into awe-struck cheers. In November 1994, at the age of forty-five and against all odds, he recaptured boxing's crown. In By George, Foreman tells the incredible story of his triumphs, defeats, and comeback. He writes openly of his troubled childhood, the rage that fueled his early athletic triumphs, his marriages, and his faith. How George Foreman not only survived but prevailed is one of the most unforgettable sagas of our time. Including sixteen pages of personal photographs, and with a new introduction by George himself, By George sheds new light on an extraordinary man who has captured the hearts of millions.

Inspection mirror used in the construction of the atomic bomb by Gus Schultz, foreman of the drafting room and machine shop at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. Schultz was a key member of J. Robert Oppenheimer's team, earning high praise from Oppenheimer himself. The mirror was essential for use in hard to see areas, allowing for the user to look into an obstructed space without the need to dissemble parts. In fine condition. The tool measures 8.5 inches. Accompanied with a distinctive photograph of the Hiroshima mushroom cloud signed by two crew members of the Enola Gay. Black and white photograph of the Hiroshima mushroom cloud captured just after the release of the âLittle Boyâ atomic bomb. Boldly signed in blue felt tip by, âPaul W. Tibbets Pilot â" Enola Gay,â and black felt tip by, âGeorge R. Caron Hiroshima 8/6/45.â In near fine condition. The photograph measures 7.5 inches by 9.5 inches. Both items are mounted in gray matting with the inspection mirror in a recessed section beneath the iconic photograph. The entire piece measures 14.5 inches by 18 inches. Additionally accompanied by two copies of letters from Oppenheimer to Schultz, a diary entry written by Schultz's wife about the bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and a copy of Schultz's Los Alamos ID card. Gustav "Gus" Schultz was one of the many scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, the top-secret U.S. initiative during World War II that developed the atomic bomb. Under the leadership of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific director of the project, a team of physicists, chemists, and engineers worked at Los Alamos Laboratory to harness nuclear fission for military purposes. Oppenheimer played a crucial role in overseeing the theoretical and practical advancements that led to the successful detonation of the first atomic bomb in July 1945 during the Trinity Test. He is often called the "father of the atomic bomb." The project culminated in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, events that reshaped global warfare and geopolitics. At 8:15 on the morning of 6th August 1945, the Japanese city of Hiroshima was devastated by the first atomic bomb to be used as a weapon of war. The bomb, nicknamed `Little Boyâ, was dropped from the USAAF B29 bomber `Enola Gayâ and exploded some 1,800 feet above the city. Three days later, just after 11 on the morning of 9th August, a second atomic bomb nicknamed `Fat Manâ exploded above the city of Nagasaki. The two atomic explosions had the effects desired by the Allies. On 10th August the Japanese government indicated its readiness to accept defeat, subject to certain conditions. On 14th August it finally accepted the demand for unconditional surrender. The following day was declared `Victory over Japanâ or VJ Day, although it was not until 2nd September that the final Japanese surrender was signed, thereby bringing the Second World War to a formal close.
