Book Description
Often misunderstood by outsiders, New Jersey has been coming back into the nation's eye over the past few years. A native of the Garden State, Laura Kiniry guides travelers from revitalized Newark, which boasts the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, to the colonial tea-burning town of Greenwich. In between is college hub New Brunswick, which offers everything from fine dining to college pubs, the Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Museum, and Atlantic City's famous casinos and boardwalk. Kiniry also offers unique trip strategies that allow visitors to explore their specific interests, such as the Eight-Day Pop Culture Tour and Recreational New Jersey. From canoeing in The Pinelands to screaming on the roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure, Moon New Jersey gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.

Book Description
Images of the Milky Way, the moon and the sun taken from the New Jersey and New York area. If we look out to the night sky, it is very easy to become mesmerized by its beauty. For centuries, the twinkling stars, the moon and the sun have fascinated people of all civilizations. We can't help but feel connected to our universe and experience a wide range of emotions: from a sense of belonging (as we are all made of star dust), to feeling small but hopeful because it gives us a sense of clear perspective (our problems are insignificant too). The night sky also awakes in us a desire to learn and explore. The Milky Way is our home galaxy and according to a recent count, it has over 200 billion stars and it is only one galaxy among billions.The Stars, The Moon And The Sun in NJ/NY area book is part of Imma Barrera's photography and environmental project: "Under the night skies". The book covers local night images easily accessible from her home in Central New Jersey. Many people are not aware that it is possible to photograph the Milky Way galaxy in these areas despite the heavy light pollution and thus the goal of this book is to showcast the areas where it is still possible to see it with the naked eye on a clear crisp night when knowing where to look. The book also offer some basic tips on how to capture images like the ones included in this work. "Under the night skies" is a photography and environmental project to raise awareness about the importance of nature conservation efforts and in particular, protecting the night sky from light pollution. Preserving the night environment helps support human health and heritage and preserves wildlife habitats. Night photography offers a chance to capture and document scenes that few people ever see nowadays due to artificial light and air glow pollution and can be truly inspiring.

Book Description
In Reiken’s “affectionate but tough-minded second novel, he captures the poetry of the New Jersey condition, circa 1980, with a rare precision” (The New York Times Book Review). A New York Times Notable Book of the Year A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year Romeo and Juliet in northern New Jersey? Yiddish constellations in Asbury Park? A garbage dump in the Meadowlands that’s filled with old musical instruments from a high school marching band? Love and sex, hockey and snorkeling, a family that is falling apart despite the best intentions—this is what Frederick Reiken has delivered in his brilliant second novel. But the real subject is true love, the one and only—known in Yiddish as b’shert. Anthony Rubin, the young protagonist, isn’t sure whether he’s found it with his neighbor, Juliette, daughter of a reputed Mafioso. His mother, who quits the family after her husband’s affair with a neighbor, doesn’t believe in true love at all. But his father does, and so does Anthony’s grandpa, who meets the love of his life at 78. Reiken is known for creating characters you feel you’ve known all your life, for mapping landscapes with profound intimacy and wonder. In The Lost Legends of New Jersey, he “reminds us that when good literature comes along, it feels, like true love itself, as if something legendary is occurring” (The Washington Post). “A beautifully told story of bad choices, good intentions, and the price of intimacy.” —Chicago Tribune “Reiken has created a rich, seductive mythology out of the ordinary places and people of the Garden State.” —Los Angeles Times

Book Description
Contaminants in fish. Ocean dumping. Biological diversity/integrity and endangered species. Pinelands and forest preservation. Wetlands protection. Watersheds and headwaters. In Protecting New Jersey's Environment these concerns translate into real human interest stories about people and their surroundings not only in the state-a critical site for the growth of environmentalism-but all around the country as well. And you can add even more to the list-ozone depletion, nuclear power, toxic waste, sprawl, racial inequity, brownfields remediation versus environmental justice concerns. Through a series of gripping accounts organized by geographic area, Thomas Belton considers key environmental issues in New Jersey and champions the ways common citizens have sought justice when faced with unseen health threats. Often, as people search for remedies in their neighborhoods, the challenges they face result in what Belton calls bare-knuckles environmental protection, replete with back-room political deals, infighting, criminals, and hapless victims. With people as its focus, Protecting New Jersey's Environment explores the science underpinning environmental issues and the public policy infighting that goes undocumented behind the scenes and beneath the controversies. Belton demonstrates the ways that scientists, regulators, lobbyists, and politicians interact and offers the public a go-to guide on how to seek environmental protection in practical ways.
