Book Description
Nature can provide us with a way of reframing our minds, and dwelling in Gods creation can offer us a space to see, hear, and walk clearly. This clear thinking is what allows us to walk in harmony with the earth and with God, and as we traverse the paths and trails of nature, we can learn more about ourselves and our own personal journeys. In Connecting Trails: The Window of Life, author and naturalist Sean Jungo invites you to join him on his own journey through hundreds of miles of trails in our great National Park system. You will go off the beaten path to some of the most seldom-visited spots in America, and as you follow Seans journey, you will discover that each story has a unique lesson that provides a small piece of the greater puzzle. As each piece is laid down, you have the opportunity to think about your own life and what you can learn. Nature provides the setting for great reflections into the human drumbeat and Gods will for our lives. As we learn about the rhythms and seasons of nature, we learn bits of wisdom we can use to build more fulfilling lives. And no matter where you are on this great journey we call life, relishing in Seans experience of nature can offer a renewed desire to reflect and steadily build your own connecting trails.

Book Description
New Jersey has a varied and fascinating history-from its earliest Native American settlements, through its central role in the Revolutionary War, to its strategic position in the major events of our country's past. In History Walks in New Jersey, Lucy D. Rosenfeld and Marina Harrison treat readers to a comprehensive statewide guidebook that includes detailed information on forty-eight of the best sites for historical walks. These outings take the history enthusiast through beautiful green landscapes, natural preserves, and picturesque settlements. Whether you are an amateur historian, a weekend walker, or a teacher planning a class trip, this book will be an essential resource for ideas and information. Walks include the Kingston Loop, a long canal where George Washington, pen in hand, composed his post-Revolutionary War speech, "Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States." Also included is a mountain walk that traces Native American Leni-Lenape history and one that wends its way into an old Moravian village in the town of Hope. A pirate cove, stops on the Underground Railroad, a Civil War cemetery, and the sites of duels, mines, canals, architectural innovations, estates and resorts, centuries-old agricultural and fishing settlements, and the Hindenburg crash are all here. Each walk includes directions, information on tours, a brief history, and suggestions for additional places to visit in the area. Whether a New Jersey native or a visitor to the Garden State, readers will enjoy going beyond the highways and suburban towns to learn about history while discovering the state's natural beauty.
