Product Description
From the ridgetops of the north to the Pinelands of the south, New Jersey's natural areas display an astonishing variety of plant life. This book--a completely revised edition of the classic Vegetation of New Jersey--enables readers to understand why the vegetation of New Jersey is what it is today and what it may become. The book portrays New Jersey as an ecosystem--its geology, topography and soil, climate, plant-plant and plant-animal relationships, and the human impact on the environment. The authors describe in detail the twelve types of plant habitats distinguished in New Jersey and suggest places to observe good examples of them. The book is amply illustrated with photographs of plant communities and individual species and maps. The appendixes provide a cross-reference between the common and scientific names of native plants of New Jersey, and hints for plant identification. Scientifically accurate yet written in a lively style, Plant Communities of New Jersey belongs on the bookshelf of every New Jerseyan who cares about the environment. Beryl Robichaud Collins has authored or coauthored seven books, including Vegetation of New Jersey and Protecting the New Jersey Pinelands, both with Rutgers University Press. She has served as senior vice president at McGraw-Hill and as a research associate in the Rutgers Institute of Coastal and Environmental Studies and member of the Graduate Faculty in the Rutgers Ecology Program. Karl H. Anderson is director of the New Jersey Audubon Society's Rancocas Nature Center in Mt. Holly. He has written extensively about New Jersey's natural history, including a checklist of New Jersey plants; and has led hundreds of botanical field trips throughout the Garden State. ... Read more

Product Description
Living within the influence of one of the largest and most important cities in the world, how does New Jersey define itself? Is it simply a region of commuters, or have communities created effective local governments and satisfying cultural activities for one of the most diverse populations in the country?

In the state with the country's densest population, the region known as North Jersey has sacrificed more than 30 percent of its land area to the vast web of roads and highways that carry more than 300,000 commuters to work in New York. Greater New Jersey probes challenges posed to the identity of New Jersey by the New York-centered mass media, professional sports, and organized crime families, while examining pressures internal to the state itself, including extraordinary social diversity, high population, fragmented governments, extensive political corruption, and diminishing land and natural resources.

Greater New Jersey sets itself apart from other works about the state by virtue of the scope of its inquiry. While contemporary in outlook, the book underscores the role of history in shedding light on the Manhattan and New Jersey of today. Dennis E. Gale examines the complex interactions that knit together a region that has dual citizenship and argues that northern New Jersey is undergoing a gradual transformation to become symbolic of a new kind of suburban area, one that borrows culture, image, and economy from a metropolis but also maintains the day-to-day living patterns of heartland America in the face of rapid social change. Readers interested in the puzzling intricacies of modern life will find much to interest them in this account of a regional identity asserting itself in the face of a looming megalopolis.

Dennis E. Gale is Professor of Public Administration and Political Science at Rutgers University. ... Read more

There's no avoiding it; New Jersey has a very bad rep. I oughtto know: I was raised there. I heard all the New Jersey jokes,suffered all the sneers, all the smart comments just dripping withcontumely. But I'm grown now, enough to appreciate the riches of NewJersey, enough to welcome a book such as the one William and KayScheller have turned out that ditches the turnpike for the steadfastglories of the Pine Barrens and the Kittatinny Mountains, and thenewly chic charms of Hoboken. From the black basalt cliffs of thePalisades to the marshy treasure of the Hackensack Meadows (in whichmore than 270 species of birds have been observed), New Jersey is morewilderness than most people realize. But there's history, too. NewJersey, well established and well settled by the time the War forIndependence shook up the colonies, was known as the "Cockpit ofthe Revolution" and was no less essential to the followingindustrial revolution.

Home to the Battle of Trenton, ThomasEdison, and thousands of acres of preserved primeval freshwaterwetlands, there is in fact no end to rewarding New Jerseydestinations, excursions, and activities, if one plucks one's nosefrom the air and has an idea of where to look. To this end, theSchellers' guide is an excellent reference. A fount of historicaltidbits, cultural oddities, and New Jersey savvy, Off the BeatenPath meanders from the African Art Museum of the S.M.A. Fathers toLambert Castle, Turtle Back Zoo to the Turkish Kitchen, South MountainReservation to the Clam Broth House--and that's just in the urbanNortheast. They provide the same eclectic service for Northern,Central, and Southern New Jersey plus the long narrow strip known asthe Shore. Whether you live in New Jersey and want to counter yourfriends' sassy comments or are traveling through and want to see morethan a stretch of highway, the Schellers' advice is thoroughlytrustworthy and a pleasure to read. --Stephanie Gold ...
