Off to College
What should parents expect during their child's first year of college? Roger Martin, double president emeritus of two colleges, spent a year visiting five diverse colleges--public and private, large and small, elite and non-elite--in order to offer the parents of college-bound seniors a comprehensive overview of the first-year college experience. In addition to a stint with dorm life and time with students and professors, Martin draws from conversations with a wide variety of campus administrators and staff members--in financial aid, campus police, sports, health care, and disabilities accommodations. We join Martin, for example, as he and a campus safety officer walk around campus on a busy...
American Anti-Pastoral
One of the best-known novels taking place in New Jersey, Philip Roth’s 1997 American Pastoral uses the fictional hamlet of Old Rimrock, NJ as a microcosm for a nation in crisis during the cultural upheavals of the 1960s-70s. Critics have called Old Rimrock mythic, but it is based on a very real place: the small Morris county town of Brookside, New Jersey.

Home Pool: The Fight to Save the Atlantic Salmon is that amazing series in book form. Lee's research included visits to the famous salmon river systems of New Brunswick, Quebec, Scotland and Iceland. In addition, he faced squarely such issues as the reckless slaughter of fish, the mismanagement of forests and farmlands, pollution and Native fishing rights. Above all, he talked to "the friends of the river" – the people determined to prevent the extinction of the Atlantic salmon. This research is the basis of Home Pool's controversial conclusion: that governments must transfer management of our rivers and watersheds to private owners, conservation trusts and river communities. Only such radical reform can save the legendary salmon and its home waters, a resource that the world is close to losing forever."--Page 4 of cover.
