{"product_id":"asbury-park-helen-chantal-pike-9781531608767","title":"Asbury Park","description":"Asbury Park, founded as a Christian resort community on the Jersey shore by developer James A. Bradley at the turn of the century, was carved from a small but impressive tract of undulating sand dunes and towering forests. This marvelous new photographic \u003cbr\u003ehistory chronicles the early development of Bradley's resort, and looks at some of the other influential civic and religious leaders who contributed to the city's heritage. Bradley's ability to market and promote Asbury Park in the early years was noteworthy; the first streets in town were named after prominent political and religious figures, and a good deal of signage advertised the city's \u003cbr\u003eChristian image to those passing through. To attract visitors, Bradley sponsored the East Coast's first baby parade and music on the boardwalk. Over the years, Asbury Park became home to a variety of different cultures and religious faiths, and this book--published in the centennial year of the city's incorporation--offers \u003cbr\u003eearly evidence of the city's diversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen-Chantal Pike\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531608760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531608767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Helen-Chantal Pike","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985522098431,"sku":"9781531608767","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e08a5664-ab24-4f90-817c-2abf6e84c231.jpg?v=1683278021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asbury-park-helen-chantal-pike-9781531608767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
