The First Book of Adam and Eve details the life and times of Adam
and Eve after they were expelled from the Garden of Eden to the
time that Cain kills his brother Abel. This book is a written
history. Although considered to be pseudepigraphic by some, it
carries significant meaning and insight into events of that time.
The book tells of their home in the Cave of Treasures, their
trials, Satan's appearances, and the birth of Cain, Abel, and their
twin sisters.

We are active, restless both in body and mind. Curiosity has
replaced blind faith. We go groping, peering, searching, scornful
of dogmas, back, further back to sources. And just as the physicist
thrills at the universes he discovers as he works inward in the
quest of his electrons, so the average man exults in his
apprehension of fundamentals of psychology. New cults spring up,
attesting to the Truth--as they see it--countless fleets of Theism,
Buchmanism, Theosophy, Bahai'ism, etc., sail under brightly colored
flags; and Atheism is flaunting itself on the horizon. Almost the
passengers have turned pilots. Everyman is thinking for himself.
The findings here--in this strange volume--bring the reader into a
large inland sea, cut off from the traffic and the tempest that
have sprung up in the West; and untouched by the crosscurrents of
dogmas and presumptions that have cluttered historic centuries.
Here is virgin water that gushes, troubled by abysmal forces only,
out of the very earth itself.
Interdisciplinary in content as well as approach, this collection
of original essays takes a fresh look at the ecology of urban
communities. Written by experts from a variety of
professions--academic researchers, private and public program
managers, and citizen activists--the book explores issues of
geography, ecology, landscape architecture, urban forestry, law,
and environmental education. Contributions include broad overviews
of common problems a well as detailed case studies of specific
programs. Although several contributors are natural scientists, the
book focuses on matters of public policy and public-private
collaboration. The aim is not only to assess the impact of
increasing urbanization on biodiversity, but also to propose new
ways of preserving and restoring the balance between the natural
and the built environment through planning and design.
Four-fifths of Americans now live in the nation's sprawling
metropolitan areas, and half of the world's population is now
classified as "urban." As cities become the dominant living
environment for humans, there is growing concern about how to make
such places more habitable, more healthy and safe, more ecological,
and more equitable--in short, more "humane." This book explores the
prospects for a more humane metropolis through a series of essays
and case studies that consider why and how urban places can be made
greener and more amenable. Its point of departure is the legacy of
William H. Whyte (1917-1999), one of America's most admired urban
thinkers. From his eyrie high above Manhattan in the offices of the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Whyte laid the foundation for today's
"smart growth" and "new urbanist" movements with books such as The
Last Landscape (1968). His passion for improving the habitability
of cities and suburbs is reflected in the diverse grassroots urban
design and regreening strategies discussed in this volume. Topics
examined in this book include urban and regional greenspaces, urban
ecological restoration, social equity, and green design. Some of
the contributors are recognized academic experts, while others
offer direct practical knowledge of particular problems and
initiatives. The editor's introduction and epilogue set the
individual chapters in a broader context and suggest how the
strategies described, if widely replicated, may help create more
humane urban environments. In addition to Rutherford H. Platt,
contributors to the volume include Carl Anthony, Thomas Balsley,
Timothy Beatley, Eugenie L. Birch, Edward J. Blakely, Colin M.
Cathcart, Steven E. Clemants, Christopher A. De Sousa, Steven N.
Handel, Peter Harnik, Michael C. Houck, Jerold S. Kayden, Albert
LaFarge, Andrew Light, Charles E. Little, Anne C. Lusk, Thalya
Parilla, Deborah E. Popper, Frank J. Popper, Mary V. Rickel,
Cynthia Rosenzweig, Robert L. Ryan, Laurin N. Sievert, Andrew G.
Wiley-Schwartz, and Ann Louise Strong.
