A Seoul Miscellany
Richard Pennington, a walking, talking bundle of contradictions, characterizes the present tome as "part autobiography, part history book and part sociological treatise." In this, his 20th book, he covers a lot of ground. Born and raised in Dallas, a graduate of the University of Texas and a long-term expat in Daegu and Seoul, he titles his first three chapters "Dallas Days," "Austin Days" and "Korea Days."

The significance of these buildings to their respective institutions can hardly be overestimated, especially their intangible way of drawing together students, alumni, and entire communities. In "Home Field: An Illustrated History of 120 College Football Stadiums," Richard Pennington explores the development of America's pigskin palaces, weaving together names, dates, and anecdotes that are funny, poignant and/or outrageous.
