A Stadium and Its City
Liam T. A. Ford
“Excellently written, beautifully illustrated, and nicely documented, this book places Soldier Field in the context of the national appetite for construction of municipal stadiums in the 1920s.”—Choice
“The combination of civic boosterism, sports, politics, and the pursuit of great public works is a formula that unlocks the secrets of Chicago. And you can find it in the pages of Soldier Field: A Stadium and Its City. . . . Reading this book, I found things I’d never known about the city, and my newspaper. . . . [Liam Ford’s] book on Soldier Field is good history. It’s the kind of history that Chicago keeps repeating.”—John Kass, Chicago Tribune

A Celebration of Classic American Playgrounds, 1920–1975

Documenting the evolution of American playgrounds between 1920 and 1975, Once Upon a Playground is a visual tribute to these iconic structures, celebrating their place in our culture and the collective memories of generations.
