Description
This photographic guide features five fully illustrated walking tours of the charming New Jersey town with seventeenth-century roots and the renowned university at its core. Explore the heart of Princeton University as well as its more modern sections; downtown Princeton, including some of its oldest neighborhoods; and the campuses of Princeton Theological Seminary and the Institute for Advanced Study. Each walk highlights the town’s rich history, varied architecture, and a multitude of local attractions, ranging from museums and theaters to parks and playgrounds. For those who want to roam a bit farther, a host of ideas for short outings and longer excursions in the greater Princeton area are included. With compelling full-page images and informative captions, this unique guidebook will appeal to both locals and guests and makes an ideal gift or keepsake.
Advance Praise
"Over the years the Town and Gown community of Princeton has been the subject of many publications, varying in scope and purpose. What distinguishes this new work from what has come before is its fine balance of photographic artistry with a concise, easily readable literary style. Together, they capture elegantly both the breadth and the ever changing nature of the place. For anyone who would like to know more about this unique community, “Discovering Princeton” offers an easily-accessible, multi-faceted epiphany."--Jon Hlafter, university architect at Princeton University (now retired)
"Well, I got into your book and found I could not put it down! The opening history is fascinating and well written. The photos are amazing with some of the camera angles so innovative that I had to tell myself, "Next time you are there, go find that view!"--Robert Hillier, architect and businessman, who also owns the local newspaper.
