Sam Sheridan will read from his book A Fighter’s Heart: One Man’s Journey Through the World of Fighting>/em>, on the . In A Fighter’s Heart, Sam describes his experience as both journalist and participant in various forms of fighting all over the world, from muay Thai at the Fairtex gym in Bangkok; to Mixed Martial Arts in Iowa; to Olympic boxing in Oakland, California; to vale tudo with the Brazilian Top Team in Rio de Janerio; to the Pride Fighting Championship in Tokyo, Japan; to Tai chi in New York City; to dogfighting in Thailand; to stuntwork on a movie set in Hollywood.
