Atlas

Atlas Loyalty to The Chaos Demons is carved into my bones. These days, the club is calmer. Quieter. It's given us time to breathe, to build, to figure out what life looks like without blood on our hands every damn day. I thought my story was already written-with Anita. She kept me grounded, challenged me, made me feel something real. She was my addiction, but she never wanted the title I kept trying to give her. And then Rue walked in. Soft-spoken. Sweet. The kind of woman who doesn't belong in a world like mine. But I want her anyway. Only Anita's past is catching up with her and dragging all of us down with it. Rue Calling the club was my last resort. My sister needed help, and The Chaos Demons delivered. But I didn't expect to fall for the biker who came to the rescue. Atlas is rough, tattooed, and terrifying in all the right ways. There's something about him that feels safe, even when the world around me is falling apart. I should've run the second I realised his ex still had claws in him. Anita's always there, always watching, and she makes sure I know that if she calls, he'll come. But now, I'm the one who needs saving. When I'm taken and used as leverage in a war no one saw coming, Atlas is forced to make a choice . . . The past he thought he wanted, or the future he never saw coming.

In "Atlas", Teddy recounts his incredible life, from juvenile delinquent, to his induction into the legendary Cus D'Amato's Boxing Camp and his first major challenge - training 14-year-old Mike Tyson. An amateur boxer trained by D'Amato, Atlas captured the Adirondack Golden Gloves title at 139 pounds in 1976. Forced out of competition because of injury, Teddy turned his talents to training fighters, including Mike Tyson, Barry McGuigan, Tracy Patterson, Joey Gamache, Simon Brown and Donny Lalonde. In 1994, in a memorable performance as trainer and corner man, Teddy inspired Michael Moorer to beat Evander Holyfield for the world heavyweight championship. Teddy has also employed his talents outside of the ring appearing in 2 films and choreographing fight scenes for the television series "Against the Law". "Atlas" is the remarkable story of all of these achievements, told in Atlas' completely inimitable voice. As you'd expect from a boxing memoir, it pulls no punches.

From the publication in 1595 of the first 'atlas' by the Flemish cartographer Gerhard Mercator, the term has become a universally adopted title for books containing accurate, uniform and evenly spread maps of all or some of the world. This is an atlas with a difference. Few of the maps in this book could reasonably be called 'accurate' in the modern sense and could almost certainly not be used to plan a journey. Yet this atlas can help us to travel in a way that regular atlases do not, because by looking at old maps and getting to know their stories we can be transported back to the times in which they were made. The generous, full-colour illustrations of each map in this large-format book range from the Klencke Atlas (1660) to Hokusai's map of China (1840-41), from a 1682 pirate map of Guatemala to twentieth-century cartographic postcards featuring maps of Australia. Atlas is the definitive printed showcase of the British Library's extensive and unparalleled map collection. Originally published in hardback, Atlas: A World of Maps from the British Library is now available in paperback.
