Riassunto

For all the popular stereotypes of crowded turnpikes and industrial wastelands, New Jersey is in reality one of the most beautiful and diverse states in the nation. From sweeping countryside to vibrant urban centers to the celebrated Jersey Shore, the Garden State has something for everyone, and then some. With this lavishly illustrated book as a guide, the cultural riches and natural splendors of New Jersey are within your reach.

New Jersey offers a wide array of attractions, all captured here in Steve Greer’s spectacular photographs. Follow Our New Jersey to the landmarks and sites celebrating the state’s seafaring heritage, its role in the Revolutionary War, its famous natives like Thomas Edison, and much more. Let the book introduce you to cultural experiences as different as Native American festivals, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum, and Atlantic City’s bustling boardwalk. Explore the diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and outdoor activities of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, or the wetlands, barrier islands, estuaries, bays, and rivers of the Coastal Heritage Trail Route. And finally, discover the quaint towns, lighthouses, and beautiful beaches that attract countless visitors to New Jersey’s famous shore. All of these and far more are on glorious display in this full-color celebration of the Garden State, giving natives and visitors, travelers and armchair tourists alike a chance to experience the extravagant offerings of the real New Jersey.
