Need a new read? Dr. Danielle Raad’s new book Above the Oxbow: Stories Entangled with a Mountain launched earlier this year with West Virginia University Press. The book is an environmental and public history of Mount Holyoke, a mountain in Western Massachusetts with a 19th-century hotel-turned-museum at the summit.
