Book review: "I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially learning about the Bamberger/Fuld Family which put the history of the Cherry Blossoms into a helpful timeline. It will be a great read for anyone interested in finding out how Branch Brook Park's collection of Cherry Blossoms exceeds Washington DC's! The short history perfectly describes the making of Cherry Blossom Land and I'm sure others will find this book very informative. The descriptions of the Cherry Blossoms themselves will be quite helpful to the amateur horticulturist!" Robin Dougherty, Executive Director Greater Newark Conservancy

The turn of the 1960s-70s, characterized by the rapid acceleration of globalization, prompted a radical transformation in the perception of urban and natural environments. The urban revolution and related prospect of the total urbanisation of the planet, in concert with rapid population growth and resource exploitation, instigated a surge in environmental awareness and activism. One implication of this moment is a growing recognition of the integration and interconnection of natural and urban entities. The present collection is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the changing modes of representation of nature in the city beginning from the turn of the 1960s/70s. Bringing together a number of different disciplinary approaches, including architectural studies and aesthetics, heritage studies and economics, environmental science and communication, the collection reflects upon the changing perception of socio-natures in the context of increasing urban expansion and global interconnectedness as they are/were manifest in specific representations. Using cases studies from around the globe, the collection offers a historical and theoretical understanding of a paradigmatic shift whose material and symbolic legacies are still accompanying us in the early 21st century.

Born and raised in Newark, NJ, the Author allows us to share her personal memories of life in a Public Housing Project in the 1960s. After the death of her father, she began to seek refuge into her childhood memories as well as digging deeper into her ancestry as a way of removing herself from the pain of her loss, only to re-discover the blessings that her father left behind. During her journey, she is exposed to many heart breaking and joyful lessons, causing much confusion and pain along the way. Remembering how it was and knowing how it is, would allow her to create a balance between past and present that would ultimately find a life that has come full circle.
