For readers with a desire to get outside and get moving, This Is Penn State serves as a guidebook to the University Park campus. Augmented by four detailed color maps, the book progresses from west campus to east, moving in a logical sequence from building to building that allows readers to understand and appreciate how each area developed. But This Is Penn State does more than simply take the reader on a leisurely walking tour of the campus. It documents the rich history that lies beneath the surface of the Penn State experience, offering facts and figures, essays and anecdotes, obscure trivia, notable quotations, and a wealth of other information for anyone interested in Penn State's past, present, or future. Forty of the University's most prominent building and areas are highlighted in the book, accompanied by more than 120 illustrations, ranging from historical photographs to architectural sketches of buildings not yet completed. Essays by veteran Penn Staters Leon Stout, Craig Zabel, and Gabriel Welsch cover the University's history, architecture, and changing physical landscape. Over the last 150 years, Penn State has maintained an impressive dedication to scholarship, research, and service to the community. In honor of the University's sesquicentennial, Penn State Press is proud to offer This Is Penn Stateas its gift to everyone who feels a connection with "dear old State."
