"In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the 1942 Rose Bowl was moved from Pasadena to Duke University out of fear of further Japanese attacks on the West Coast. Shortly after this unforgettable game, many of the players and coaches left their respective colleges, entered the military, and went on to serve around the world in famous battlegrounds, from Iwo Jima and Okinawa to Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, where fate and destiny would bring them back together on faraway battlefields, fighting on the same team. Fields of Battle is a powerful story that sheds light on a little-known slice of American history where World War II and football intersect. Author Brian Curtis captures in gripping detail an intimate account of the teamwork, grit, and determination that took place on both the football and battle fields"--

The Rose Bowl is best known for playing host to the "granddaddy of them all"--the much anticipated major college football game held every January 1. It has further secured its place in sports history by playing host to Super Bowls, BCS football championships, Olympic games, and World Cup finals. For the residents of Pasadena, the Rose Bowl is also an important community center. In addition to football games (and Caltech pranks), many Pasadenans remember graduating at the bowl. Over the years, the Rose Bowl has held numerous concerts, peace rallies, festivals, flea markets, and Fourth of July celebrations. And the structure itself, designed by architect Myron Hunt, is seen by many as a proud testament to Pasadena's commitment to architectural innovation. The photographs in this book, many from the archives of the Pasadena Museum of History, highlight the Rose Bowl's memorable sports moments as well as the stadium's unique role in Pasadena's cultural life.

More Than a Parade is a behind-the-scenes look at Pasadena's famed Tournament of Roses, told by longtime Tournament Volunteer and 2004 president Michael K. Riffey. Riffey shares stories of the hard work, drama and fun that go in to making the Pasadena Tournament of Roses one of the "gotta see" events on the nation's TV schedule. Preparation for next year's parade begins soon after the last street sweeper finishes cleaning up. Months of travel, auditions, design decisions, and logistical setbacks all come together for one day of glorious pageantry. Riffey introduces you to float designers and builders, parade queens, equestrian units, band members, and an army of sometimes contentious volunteers. He also answers some of the most frequently asked questions about the parade-and the Rose Bowl football game.
