Cranford
Residents of Cranford greeted the publication of a photographic history of their community with tremendous enthusiasm in 1995. For the first time, significant people and events in the township's past were celebrated in a vivid record available to all. The authors of that volume--Robert Fridlington and Lawrence Fuhro--have worked together again to produce an all-new second book on Cranford that includes many newly discovered images. Cranford Volume II covers the history of the town from 1871 to 1960, and highlights its role as a riverside resort and suburb. Images of well-known Cranford residents like pure-food crusader Alice Lakey and beloved high school coach J. Seth Weekly are also featured, documenting the unique contributions of these citizens to their hometown.

An engaging introduction to the ancient hawthorn tree and its varied roles in human history One of humankind's oldest companions, the hawthorn tree is bound up in the memories of every recorded age and the plot lines of cultures across the Northern Hemisphere.

Berkeley Heights
The Township of Berkeley Heights--a rural community until well into the twentieth century--has matured into a diverse and dynamic town. Images of America: Berkeley Heights chronicles the fascinating history of the township from the 1880s to the early 1960s in a remarkable series of vintage images and lively commentary. Author Virginia B. Troeger invites you to stroll past the homesteads and businesses of yesteryear along Springfield Avenue, visit some of the people who have called Berkeley Heights home, and stop by such landmarks as the Bonnie Burn Sanatorium (later Runnells Hospital), the world-renown Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill (now part of Lucent Technologies), the Deserted Village, Old Saint Mary's Stone Hill, and the unique community of Free Acres.
Root Shock
Root Shock examines 3 different U.S. cities to unmask the crippling results of decades-old disinvestment in communities of color and the urban renewal practices that ultimately destroyed these neighborhoods for the advantage of developers and the elite. Like a sequel to the prescient warnings of urbanist Jane Jacobs, Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove reveals the disturbing effects of decades of insensitive urban renewal projects on communities of color. For those whose homes and neighborhoods were bulldozed, the urban modernization projects that swept America starting in 1949 were nothing short of an assault. Vibrant city blocks - places rich in culture - were torn apart by freeways and other inv...
