Book Description
Photographer Richard Simpkin set himself a herculean task; take a photo of 100 Australians he believed had attained status as legends. Starting with a knock at the door of the Adelaide home of cricketer Sir Donald Bradman, Simpkin approached dozens of famous people, from veterans reluctant to be called legends, through to media moguls who had long ago ceased to even consider themselves Australians. Artists, actors and inventors all posed for him and told their stories. Many of the legends have since passed away, in one case within days of being photographed. Each of this great collection's vivid photographs contains a brief bio of the subject, as well as a description of how the author managed to get the legend on the other end of his lens.

Book Description
Following the 1972 Olympics one sportswriter referred to Mark Spitz, winner of seven gold medals, as “the first great Jewish athlete.” He couldn’t have been more wrong. As Jewish Sports Legends shows, Jews have excelled at athletics for centuries. This engaging volume illuminates the lives and unforgettable accomplishments of Jews in virtually every major sport played worldwide. Baseball stars Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg, basketball’s Red Auerbach and Dolph Schayes, and football’s Sid Luckman and Marv Levy are only a few notable examples. With photographs accompanying almost every sports personality, this fifth edition introduces some famous and some not-so-famous Jewish sports greats throughout history. More than eighty new entries have been added to the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame since 2005, among them Lyle Alzado, Max Baer, Ira Berkow, Kenny Bernstein, Sasha Cohen, Shawn Green, Donna Geils Orender, Aly Raisman, and Bud Selig. While most of those profiled are professional sport champions and Olympic gold medalists, the book also features great coaches, officials, journalists, and other significant contributors in every major sport.
