Joanna Burger is Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences at Rutgers University. Her seventeen books include A Naturalist along the Jersey Shore, 25 Nature Spectacles in New Jersey, and The Parrot Who Owns Me.
"Here's a special book about a special place. Joanna Burger may
well be an accomplished biologist and naturalist, but as you read
these pages you'll discover that the little girl who was wowed by
nature, the scientist to be, is very much on the same page."
*Director of Natural History Information, New Jersey Audubon
Society*
"A welcome addition to the literature on those unique ecosystems
along our Atlantic seaboard that we refer to as the pine
barrens."
*author of A Pine Barrens Odyssey*
"Joanna Burger has artfully integrated her experiences as a
naturalist of pineland ecosystems within the context of several
sciences, most notably biology. She writes of the science of
creatures and plants and sand and water within these important
environments. This is a science told in a uniquely personal way
through her eyes and those of her family and friends."
