Alamo Stadium

"It's so small", visitors often exclaim as they catch their first glimpse of the Alamo, dwarfed long ago by the towering buildings of downtown San Antonio. Yet this modest stone structure evokes tremendous feeling among Texans and, indeed, many other Americans. For Anglo Texans, the Alamo is the "Cradle of Texas Liberty" and a symbolic confirmation of the Manifest Destiny that spread Euro-American culture across the continent. For Hispanic Texans, however, the Alamo has increasingly become a stolen symbol, its origin as a Spanish mission forgotten, its famous defeat used to exclude Hispanics from an honorable place in Texas history. In this important new book, Holly Beachley Brear explores in fascinating detail what the Alamo means to the numerous groups that lay claim to its heritage. She shows how Alamo myths often diverge from the historical facts - and why. She decodes the agendas of various groups, including the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (who maintain the Alamo buildings and grounds), the Order of the Alamo, the Texas Cavaliers, and LULAC. And she probes attempts by individuals and groups to rewrite the Alamo myth to include more positive roles for themselves, as she explains the value in laying claim to the Alamo's past. With new perspectives on all the sacred icons of the Alamo and the Fiesta that celebrates (one version of) its history each year, Inherit the Alamo is guaranteed to challenge stereotypes and offer new understanding of the Alamo's ongoing role in shaping Texas and American history and mythology. It will be of interest to a wide popular and scholarly audience.

Through recent high-profile work of HOK Sport, the world's leading stadium architects, this book examines the increased significance and value of the stadium as an architectural icon. HOK Sport designed the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, the Reliant Stadium in Houston, SBC Park in San Francisco, Oriole Park in Baltimore, the Reebok and McAlpine Stadiums in England, the Telstra Dome in Melbourne, the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon and the new Nanjing Stadium in Nanjing. These stadiums have hosted the Olympic Games, the Asian Games, the Rugby World Cup, the Superbowl, the FA Cup Final and the European Football Championship final. HOC Sport are also the designers for the new Wembley and Arsenal Stadiums in London, as well as the new Wimbledon Centre Court and the Ascot Racecourse.
