This book chronicles the life story of Ted Turner—cable television mogul, successful baseball team owner, and fascinating public figure. Ted Turner: A Biography tells the story of a man whose wide range of accomplishments have led to a Man of the Year award from Time magazine, induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame, and numerous awards and honorary degrees for humanitarian, philanthropic, and environmental activism.

The book also highlights other fascinating aspects of Turner's life, including his record-breaking career as a yachtsman, his extraordinary efforts to save the American bison, his headline-making marriage to Jane Fonda, and his sometimes contradictory, often controversial public persona.

I am too tired to fight fifty. The role of middle age is still not apparent to me, but I know that I will eventually get it-I have to as there is no other choice.
