Specificatii
An American tourist in Europe stopped at a restaurant in Gdansk,
Poland, and struck up a conversation with a local. Where do you
come from? he asked. New Jersey, she said. He smiled and replied,
Ah, Sopranos Even fans of that popular show, one that held viewers
captive, may be a bit disheartened to discover that the first thing
that pops into minds around the world about New Jersey is a
dysfunctional crime family, just an exit or two off the infamous
N.J. Turnpike. But there's no need to live in fear that the only
culture and history that the state is known for is, well, let's
say, a bit of bada bing. Actually, the echo of the Big Banguthe
cosmic event that marked the birth of our universe some 13.7
billion years agouwas first identified by scientists from Bell Labs
in Murray Hill, New Jersey.In this lively romp through history from
the primitive past to the present day, Marc Mappen's message
resonatesuThere's More to New Jersey than the Sopranos. Real tales,
wise tales, tall tales abound throughout the pages of Mappen's
collection, filled with zest, humor, scandal, and occasionally
tragedy. Annie Oakley. Ulysses S. Grant. Benedict Arnold. Ezra
Pound. Shoeless Joe Jackson. These luminaries and many others share
a common bond with the state that witnessed prehistoric elephants
roaming its pastures, the explosion on the USS Princeton, a Martian
invasion, famous firsts like the phonograph, electric light, and
movies, and, well, step aside Tony Soprano: mobster Al Capone
strolling along the Atlantic City boardwalk.Providing a lens into
American history through lively prose and more than twenty-five
illustrations, There's More to New Jersey than the Sopranos is as
much fun as a trip to the Jersey Shore and definitely more
rewarding than a night home watching televisionu simply stated,
this book is one you can't refuse to read.
