A life-long resident of New Jersey and an environmental activist, photographer Clem Fiori documents the New Jersey that earned the state the nickname, "Garden State." In this book are surprising images of rolling fields, inviting woods, tumbling streams, and placid farmscapes. Much of the landscape in New Jersey, as in other states, has been converted to housing developments or malls. The remaining rural environment is always under siege. This book, then, is in part a plea for the preservation of the land. Accompanying the photographs are brief texts by the author that evoke the spirit of the place. The photographs are beautiful to look at, expertly printed in duotone.

Were you surprised to find you were reading a description of New Jersey? If so, you aren't alone. Even many New Jerseyans don't realize their small state is home to some of the nation's most diverse and beautiful landscapes. From the Kittatinny Mountains in the north to the beaches of Cape May in the south, New Jersey overflows with natural beauty, and Hiscano captures it all with unparalleled artistry in this magnificent collection of more than 100 photos taken over the past decade. Brief section openers describe each region's history, physical features, and ecological importance. In the spirit of Ansel Adams, who showed the world the previously overlooked magnificence of the Southwest, Hiscano allows us to view the state as never before, showing us its many splendors and varied seasons. His incomparable photographs are organized geographically-The Kittatinny Ridge and Valley, Highlands, Piedmont, Pine Barrens, and the shore. We view the state from its mountain tops and sand dunes. We see mighty oak trees and fragile wild roses. Waterfalls and beaver ponds. Snow-covered cedars and sun-drenched black-eyed susans. Sunrise and moonrise. Beauty in the most obvious and unexpected places. Hiscano's extraordinary portrayal of New Jersey in its most natural state also focuses our attention to the state's rapidly diminishing wildlands, and points out the urgent need to continue to preserve the landscape for future generations.
