Description
Tempe started collaboratively, and its innovative citizens continue to work together, creatively solving problems and capitalizing on opportunities in the landlocked 40 square miles surrounded by Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, and Guadalupe.

Subsequently, Tempe has remained successful due to both individual innovations, like creating Big Surf, the first man-made wave pool in the United States, and city-led initiatives like the development of Tempe Town Lake, which reinvigorated the shore line of a river bottom frequently left dry since the implementation of a dam system.

Reviews

"The only problem with a book purporting to identify "Legendary Locals" are the inevitable debates about omissions -- something of which deLusé was keenly aware.... But deLusé, who co-authored the Arcadia Publishing "The Campus History Series -- Arizona State University" book in 2012, has done a credible job of consolidating 145 years of Tempe history into "Legendary Locals of Tempe," a 128-page volume featuring more than 120 notables." The Arizona Republic

Author Bio
The photographs in Legendary Locals of Tempe come from a community that cares about remembering its humble roots and celebrating its proud achievements through honoring some of the sung and unsung local heroes who helped make Tempe the textured and vibrant place that it continues to be. Stephanie R. deLusé, PhD, a Phoenix native and longtime Tempe resident, also coauthored Arcadia's Arizona State University, an institution from which she graduated and where she is an award-winning teacher in Barrett, the Honors College.
