Book Description

A Pine Barrens Odyssey is a detailed perspective of the seasons in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Meant as a companion to Howard P. Boyd's previous title A Field Guide to the Pine Barrens, it continues the comprehensive look at this natural region in New Jersey.

A Pine Barrens Odyssey includes descriptions of plant and animal life along with coordinating illustrations, but is primarily focused on the chronology of the natural features of the Pine Barrens. Boyd includes little known facts about the events that occur throughout the year to give the reader a look into his insight on the area.

Book Description

With his 420-page volume, author Howard Boyd presents readers with the ultimate handbook to the New Jersey Pine Barrens. While the bulk of the book (over 300 pages) contains listings and illustrations of the plant and animal species that live and grow with the Pine Barrens, Boyd begins his book by explaining and defining what makes this sandy soiled, wooded habitat so diverse and so unusual.

But just as the title suggests, the essence of this text is its devotion to identifying, classifying, characterizing and illustrating every living creature, from the whirligig beetle to the large-toothed aspen, that makes its home in the Pine Barrens.

Over 700 species, listed first under their common then scientific nomenclatures, are included. Each entry gives a detailed, non-technical description of a Pine Barren plant or animal, indicating when and where it is most likely to appear. Complementing most listings is an original ink drawing that will greatly aid the reader in the field as they search for and try to identify specific flora and fauna.

Everything You Ever Wanted to know about the Pine Barrens.......2001-08-20

A Field Guide to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey could easily be called "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the Jersey Pines". Part history lesson, part field guide, it covers its past and present in quite some detail. Its an amateur naturalist's dream, and an outstanding resource for native New Jersyites who want to know a bit more about this uniquie wilderness area.

The book can be divided into two parts. The first part covers the Pine Barren's . It starts with its ecological history (soil, climate,etc.) followed by utilitarian and development uses(from mining of iron ore to cranberry farming), then its historic sites and folklore (from Smithville to Batsto to the infamous Jersey Devil) and finally, it touches upon current and future uses and preservation.

The presentation in the first part is short, straightforeward, fact-based essays taking up less than the first 100 pages.

The next 300 pages or so serve as the Golden Book/Peterson Field Guide to the plants, mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, fishes and arthorpods/insects of the Pine Barrens, respectively. There is a plethora of illustrations accompanying the text, and although lacking the ID markings of the Peterson Field Guides, are excellent nontheless and seem to cover nearly all (if not all) of the species presented here.

In addition, there are plenty of footnotes and references for those with a bent towards the scinece part of nature, as well as a decent index with both latin and common names.

Book Description

New Jersey is called the Garden State with good reason¾ some of the nation's most strikingly beautiful homes and gardens can be found within its borders. Caroline Seebohm and Peter C. Cook have captured them gloriously in Great Houses and Gardens of New Jersey.

No other book has so beautifully presented the architectural story of the state, stunningly documented in more than 200 color photographs¾ from a centuries-old farm to modern glass houses, from woodlands planted with native plants to formal French and English-style gardens. Each house and garden is privately owned, and many have never before been photographed. Readers are given an exclusive peek at some of New Jersey's greatest treasures.

Seebohm and Cook take us on a private tour of a pre-revolutionary Dutch farmhouse that could have sprung from the coast of Devon in England; a brick-patterned house that vividly expresses the originality and exuberance of the region's early builders and craftsmen; a collection of native stone buildings reminiscent of Bucks County, Pennsylvania; and an Arts and Crafts house with contributions by New Jersey's innovative Gustav Stickley. The twentieth century is equally well represented with works by masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Venturi, Michael Graves, and Richard Meier.

The book showcases gardens of dazzling splendor and variety¾ woodlands ablaze with native azaleas and dogwoods; a charming sunken garden by well-known English garden designer Penelope Hobhouse; a stunning water garden on the Navesink River; a tiny formal garden surrounded by a picket fence in Somerset County; a garden in Alpine carpeted with bluebells in the spring, scented with roses in the summer, and with orchids on display all year round.

Full of ideas and suggestions to improve customer service........1999-01-20

Telephone Courtesy & Customer Service is a classic example of how to manage the telephone. The author does and excellent job of intertwining telephone skills as they relate to customer service. Eighteen skills are presented in a "how to" positive manner. The impact of these telephone skills on customer service is illustrated in an easy to understand format. The point made is, that every employee telephone statement made to customers and other callers influences the customer's perception of the organization and of the service provided. Employee's determine the customer's perception by what they say and how they say it. Each statement can be delivered so that it leaves a positive impression on the customer or caller. Customer needs are also discussed. A section on employee attitude, as it pertains to customer service, is especially valuable. Overall, the book is a primer on telephone skills and, in my estimation, one of the best ever written. I recommend it!
