The most recent additions to our collection of books on Purdue include the two most comprehensive histories of the university to date. In\u00a0Ever True: 150 Years of Giant Leaps at Purdue University<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0author John Norberg deftly covers 150 years of Purdue history, a task he equates to trying to fill a thimble with water pouring out of a fire hydrant. The book is filled with stories of the faculty, alumni, and leaders that make up Purdue\u2019s distinguished history. In\u00a0Purdue at 150: A Visual History of Student Life<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 authors and archivists David M. Hovde, Adriana Harmeyer, Neal Harmeyer, and Sammie L. Morris pored over decades of student papers, scrapbooks, yearbooks, letters, newspapers, historical photographs and memorabilia to create a stunning pictorial history of Purdue.<\/p>\n

The list also includes selections on Purdue\u2019s history in space & flight, many from our series Purdue Studies in Aeronautics & Astronautics. You can find biographies on some of Purdue\u2019s most distinguished alumnus flyers like John Casper<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Jerry Ross<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Gus Grissom<\/strong><\/a>, as well as\u00a0two collections of letters to Neil Armstrong<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0curated by his official biographer James R. Hansen, sourced from a collection of\u00a0Neil Armstrong\u2019s papers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0housed in the Purdue University Archives and Special Collections.<\/p>\n

The rest of the books in the sale cover a wide swath of all things Purdue, from\u00a0five legendary women deans with a secret bond<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0popcorn king himself<\/strong><\/a>. Whether you are a current student, alumni, or even a Boilermaker enthusiast this sale will have the perfect choice for you. All books on this list make a wonderful gift for the Purdue Class of 2022 as well. Hail Purdue and read up!<\/p>\n
