{"product_id":"25-nature-spectacles-in-new-joanna-burger-9780813527666","title":"25 Nature Spectacles in New Jersey","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoin Joanna Burger and Michael Gochfeld as they guide readers to New Jersey's most marvelous natural spectacles. From mating horseshoe crabs in the Delaware Bay to goldenclub and orchids at Web's Mill Bog, the authors show us Garden State nature at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile New Jersey boasts far more than 25 nature spectacles, the authors have selected those that are the most dramatic, predictable, and characteristic of the state so readers can easily enjoy them over and over again. Being in the right place at the right time makes all the difference, so the guidebook is organized by season to ensure the best viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter begins with a photo and a brief description of the spectacle. A listing of key locations, directions, and the best time to visit follows. A prime habitat section provides a brief characterization of the appropriate surroundings to look for the plant or animal spectacle. The description provides ambiance, natural and life history information allowing readers to enjoy fully what they are observing. A final section lists an agency or organization where more information can be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains maps as well as a calendar of recommended events, including the Lambertville Shad Festival and the Barnegat Bay Duck Decoy Festival. The authors also list a number of other spectacles that while they didn't make the top 25 list, but are well-worth checking out--including a tongue-in-cheek look at what may be New Jersey's best-known wildlife, humans at the shopping mall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book grows from the authors' quarter century of exploring the state's estuaries, bays, fields, and forests, observing and enjoying its natural habitats. They've written the perfect guidebook for everyone, whether you are ready to head off to the great outdoors or prefer to read about nature from the comfort of your armchair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Burger, Michael Gochfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081352766X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813527666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.17h x 6.23w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 557","brand":"Joanna Burger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926402826495,"sku":"9780813527666","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a927417f-051d-4f67-8803-5663b71142ed.jpg?v=1681082890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/25-nature-spectacles-in-new-joanna-burger-9780813527666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
