{"product_id":"the-best-of-leifer","title":"The Best of Leifer","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom sports to politics and from celebrities to celebrations  Neil Leifer has traversed the world since 1960  capturing major events for Sports Illustrated  Time  Life  Newsweek  and other leading publications. His artistry  composition  and unerring instinct for photographing just the right moment are evident in the memorable pictures included here. Among his best-known images are a triumphant Muhammed Ali defeating Sonny Liston  thought to be the best sports picture of all time; a dazzling Kristi Yamaguchi in midair on her way to Olympic gold; Michael \"Air\" Jordan slam-dunking; and countless other pictures of sports superstars. For decades Leifer has attended premier sports events  and the photographs he has taken at them allow us to have ringside seats at many of the most exciting competitions of the last half of the 20th century. But as this collection amply displays  Leifer also offers awesome views of many non-sporting subjects  including popes  presidents  prisoners  African wildlife  aircraft carriers  and Hollywood celebrities. Accompanying the images are Leifers lively  anecdotal accounts of the events and personalities he has photographed  as well as an insightful introduction by George Plimpton. Filled with familiar faces  extraordinary events  and evocative scenes  this mesmerizing book will be a prized gift for anyone interested in sports or great photography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985074122805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0789207125","price":451.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780789207128.jpg?v=1770845264","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-best-of-leifer","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
