DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For nearly one hundred seventy years, the Delaware and Raritan Canal has meandered across the narrow waist of New Jersey through bustling cities, suburban towns, and rural landscapes. One of the most successful towpath canals in the United States, the Delaware and Raritan carried more tonnage in 1866 than the famous Erie Canal. Transporting mainly anthracite coal, the Delaware and Raritan also stimulated industries as diverse as Roebling's wire-rope factory in Trenton, Johnson & Johnson pharmaceuticals in New Brunswick, and Fleischmann's Distillery in East Millstone. Today, as the centerpiece of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, the canal provides the people of central New Jersey with both a water supply and a premier recreational facility.The Delaware and Raritan Canal introduces you to this manmade waterway through some two hundred historical photographs and postcards. In these pages, discover the locks, aqueducts, and machinery that enabled the waterway to transport military men and supplies between New York and Philadelphia during three wars. See how inventor John Holland used the canal to deliver his Holland VI submarine to Washington for its naval trials and how luxury yachts, including J.P. Morgan's Tarantula, cruised the waterway. The Delaware and Raritan Canal documents a historical and recreational gem in the heart of New Jersey.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This unique bilingual haiku anthology is a product of the students at the Princeton Adult School, who took the Haiku Writing Class in the Spring Semester 2021. The area surrounding Princeton abounds with wildlife-both fauna and flora-offering an ideal environment to admire and explore nature. For instance, this locale, an enclave of the Delaware Raritan Canal State Park of New Jersey, is a home to the Princeton Bald Eagle. Watching how the eagle couple has raised their young against the vagaries of weather--including snowstorms in winter and spring, as well as hurricanes in summer and autumn (one of their nests was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy in 2012)--is not only a blessing in itself, but is also an inspiration to write poetry in general and haiku in particular. This collection contains 105 haikus featuring spring and presents each haiku in both English and Japanese so that readers can appreciate it in two languages. The chapters are divided according to the seven categories of haiku: Season/Weather; Heaven; Earth; Life; Events/Observances; Fauna; and Flora. Through this collection, readers can stroll and enjoy the abundant nature in the Greater Princeton area.
