The season’s trade titles include Heather Swan’s “Where Honeybees Thrive,” a lyrical blend of nonfiction and visual art investigating the worldwide plight of honeybees and the humans who work to save them; “Among the Woo People: A Survival Guide to Living in a College Town,” a collection of humorist Russell Frank’s columns on life in Happy Valley; and “Lair of the Lion: A History of Beaver Stadium” by two Penn State experts, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering Harry H. West and Librarian Emeritus Lee Stout.
A revised and expanded edition of the perennially popular “Field Guide to Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic” by State College mycologist Bill Russell will also be available this fall.
