Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique compendium of New Jersey's environment and natural resources. A comprehensive report by the Department of Conservation and Development, it covers its work through wartime 1917 and offers an overview of the state's forestry, watershed management, and the diverse range of mineral resources that were crucial to the nation's manufacturing capacity during World War I. The author argues that New Jersey's prosperity, war or no, was tied to the responsible stewardship of its natural assets. In parallel with the nation's need for potash, the book details New Jersey's substantial undeveloped deposits of greensand marl, a mineral able to furnish the potash necessary for fertilizer production. The author also notes that "there is great need of places to which the people of our large cities can go for recreation" and discusses the potential of the state's forests for this purpose. The book foreshadows the growing concern for public health and recreational amenities that would characterize the coming century, making it a valuable historical document for understanding contemporary approaches to conservation and sustainable development.
