Southern Bulldog, Northern Bulldog

What has Athens to do with New Haven? Separated by nearly 900 miles, the casual observer finds no obvious connection, aside from their identities as venerable cities in two of America’s 13 original colonies. History, however, tells a different story. In America’s infancy, Yale-educated men migrated south to establish new lives in Georgia and contribute to the political scene and educational system. As a result, the University of Georgia emerged as the first land-grant university in America, and its founders looked to Yale for inspiration in the college’s architecture and curriculum. After more than a century, the spiritual and philosophical connections between the schools were celebrated in a different manner–through a friendly gridiron rivalry. Yale, the Northern blueblood, and Georgia, the Southern institution on the rise, met 11 times between 1923 and 1934. This book chronicles those meaningful battles and marks the gradual shift in the college football power structure. Here is a closer look at an old rivalry whose existence surprises us when we consider how far apart the programs have grown.

Travel Suburbia

An off-beat celebration of strip mall sameness and commercial sprawl in low-resolution color. The most widely available point-and-shoot (and sometimes disposable) cameras of the time captured these exotic images that require a keen eye and an appreciation for discounted convenience. This evolving ebook project was partly inspired by sweltering August days of my youth, shuffling across molten blacktop in a crowded parking lot so I could try on heavy back-to-school jeans that stuck to my sweaty legs.

Muzzy Field

Few ballparks still in use today can boast of hosting both Babe Ruth and Vince Lombardi during their playing days. Muzzy Field in Bristol, Connecticut, is one of them. This book retells the stories of the events and people who shaped this ballpark that is so rich in history. Tucked away in the woodsy corner of a public park located within the once-gilded boundaries of a manufacturing city, Muzzy Field has welcomed some of history's most iconic athletes and dozens of Hall of Famers, standing as a grand old dame of New England ballparks.
