It is the longest river that is completely within New Jersey, includes the state’s largest contiguous stretch of wildlife habitat, and runs through one of the most populated areas of the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Raritan River\u003c\/i\u003e shows New Jersey for what it is-home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of an amazing region where protected environments coexist with land left in ruins by rampant industrialization and where the reckless pursuit of commerce scarred the lands along its banks. Shaw argues that as we work to protect this historically wooded and agricultural land from further development, we need to replace our outmoded infrastructure and rethink outdated design and management practices that currently limit our progress toward a clean and beautiful environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With over 350 photographs and 20 paintings, Shaw captures scenes of the river, the wildlife on the shores, and the human activities along its banks. The illustrations show what is possible when we rescue the land, restore the habitat, and create harmony with nature. \u003ci\u003eThe Raritan River\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us that people are the solution-we need to engage locally, to educate ourselves, and to work with those who manage our parks and open spaces to adopt new practices that enrich our natural resources instead of neglecting them for another generation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWatch a video with Judy A.
