Nicknamed the “Garden State,” New Jersey is a fascinating place for students to study. This book covers all the basics, with chapters on the land, history, government, and major industries. There is a chapter on notable individuals including Grover Cleveland, Bruce Springsteen, and Queen Latifah. Every chapter contains a sidebar devoted to the past and present, which juxtaposes New Jersey of yesteryear with the present day. A timeline of important events and a listing of key facts are also included.
