Book excerpt: WithEdens Lost & Found, award-winning filmmakers Harry Wiland and Dale Bell herald an exciting sea change in the relationship between ordinary citizens, environmental groups, and government. From across America they gather evidence of a new spirit of cooperation among neighbors, planners, architects and builders, city officials, and government agencies. Indeed, as urban issues have become undeniably urgent problems that demand answers, people from disparate backgrounds and political leanings are joining forces to recast life in American cities. As citizens take action where government has failed, they are finding support, encouragement, and help from their neighbors. Conversely, as progressive-minded government agencies and organizations explore nontraditional solutions, an energized community rallies to the cause. Neither exclusively top-down, nor grassroots, we are in the midst of an unprecedented movement that unites efforts from every quarter in a common cause. Focusing on Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Seattle—four cities that face vastly different challenges—Edens Lost & Found highlights the remarkable power of hope, pride, ingenuity, and chutzpah that characterize this era of collaboration. Bioengineering concepts—now increasingly understood by many to offer the most effective, cost-efficient solutions—are playing a central role. Working with—rather than in opposition to—nature is leading to such innovations as rooftop and urban gardens, restored parks, transformed vacant lots, the re-greening of city streets, and eco-friendly watershed management. Edens Lost & Found shows how working to reshape the land also transforms the relationships people have to one another.

Book excerpt: A fascinating look at why human beings have a powerful mental, spiritual, and physical need for the natural world—and the profound impact this has on our consciousness and ability to heal the soul and bring solace to the heart, and the cutting-edge scientific evidence proving nature as nurturer. “The connection between mental health and the natural world turns out to be strong and deep—which is good news in that it offers those feeling soul-sick the possibility that falling in love with the world around them might be remarkably helpful.” —Bill McKibben Lucy Jones interweaves her deeply personal story of recovery from addiction and depression with that of discovering the natural world and how it aided and enlivened her progress, giving her a renewed sense of belonging and purpose. Jones writes of the intersection of science, wellness, and the environment, and reveals that in the last decade, scientists have begun to formulate theories of why people feel better after a walk in the woods and an experience with the natural world. She describes the recent data that supports evidence of biological and neurological responses: the lowering of cortisol (released in response to stress), the boost in cortical attention control that helps us to concentrate and subdues mental fatigue, and the increase in activity in the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing the heart and allowing the body to rest. “Beautifully written, movingly told and meticulously researched. An elegy to the healing power of nature. A convincing plea for a wilder, richer world.” —Isabella Tree, author of Wilding

Book excerpt: I'd spent my entire life feeling like I couldn't breathe. Like I was unfit to even exist in a world controlled by elemental magic, as the only one without a single drop coursing through my veins. I was a magical dud, a misfit thrown into an orphanage by my parents as a baby and forced to work a dead end job at a magical coffee shop just to get by. In a place where everyone was extraordinary I had come to terms with being ordinary. Until my twentieth birthday when my life went up in flames- literally. But when my best friend is captured by a fire wielding psychopath who also turns out to be my fated mate I realize that there is no limit to how much of a hot mess my life can be. Great. Secrets about my past are uncovered and I find out I'm an eden, a mage with an affinity for all four elements. Only an eden can unite all of the elemental mages and unite the country against upheaval. I was prepared to master the four elements, but I wasn't prepared to fall for the three hot elemental princes who were tasked with helping me save the world. No pressure, right?

Book excerpt: For the first time in American history, more people (80 per-cent) are living in cities than in rural areas. Though people move to urban areas for better job prospects and a better life, this demographic shift inevitable places an enormous strain on natural resources, such as air, water, and energy reserves. Edens Lost and Found highlights what communities all across the country are doing to revive their ecosystems and, as a result, improve the quality of life of all its citizens. Award-winning filmmakers Harry Wiland and Dale Bell herald an exciting sea change in the reltionship between ordinary citzens, environmental groups, and local government. This PBS special series witnesses and records a new spirit of cooperation among neighbors, planners, architects and builders, city officials, and government agencies. Citizens and community leaders are waking up to the fact that we can-not depend on big government any-more to solve our problems. If cities are going to survive- let alone thrive- we have to come up with cheaper, cleaner, smarter ways to deal with these environmental hurdles. The four-part PBS mini-series tell the story of how four great American cities - Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Seattle- are meeting the challenges of urban renewal. We chose these four cities because they are each successfully dealing with challenges that collectively represent the spectrum of issues most urban areas can no longer ignore. Awards Winner, California Green-works' Environmental Leaders Award 2008 Winner, North American Association for Environmental Education 2007 The PBS film series Edens Lost and Found was for me a water-shed event, a beautiful rendering of the collective stories of four incredible cities, conveyed in visually affective and emotionally compelling fashion. These cities are presented not as abstractions, but rather are seen through the lens of real people and real neighborhoods grappling with contemporary urban problems, and in the end finding their way down a hopeful path. - Professor Tim Beatley, University of VA. The Edens Lost and Found Symposium at the Tree People's Center in L.A provided us an invaluable opportunity to be involved in an urban rebirth process that will sus-tain and impact us for future generations. Not only was our vision strengthened for the Chicago innercity, but confirmed as to where we want to go after seeing our dream in action in Los Angeles and so many other cities. The resources we found availab ...

Book excerpt: Books 1-3 of Eden Lost Trilogy, Part Two of The Hunter Wars series This omnibus edition of the Eden Lost Trilogy contains all of the books: Hidden Evil, Dead Alive and Divine Death. Gears, Pax and TL were soldiers in the U.S. army when the world was destroyed by a virus that turned most people into hunters. Hunters were fierce killers of all life, smart and hard to kill. The Devil took advantage of man's vulnerability and tried to take control of what little was left. Our soldiers found a woman they named Ip who could kill hunters with a touch, and through her they learned they were more than mere men. As the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they led man in a fight for their right to rule that man deserved another chance to live. When the Devil was defeated, Eden was restored on earth and peace reigned. Hidden Evil It's been five years since they put the Devil in his place, but all is not well in Eden and our Horsemen have dug their way out of their graves. It seems the Devil wasn't done and neither were they. Gears must uncover his new mission, and he believes he needs another army to defend his right to rule. America is at war with itself and he needs to know why. Dead Alive The hunters have returned, but they're not the same as they were. Gears, Pax and TL decide they need to look for the problem in Eden and uncover more than they ever expected. Ruler is playing them all for fools, and Gears finds a unique solution to save America. Divine Death Fed up with man's cruelty, Pax demands they rule again, leaving Ip out in the cold. When the young Horsemen argue the toss, Gears, Pax and TL must go through the doorway to Heaven to find Ip, concluding their epic fight with Ruler. Finally understanding why the hunters were needed, they learn their true role in the universe. This story is the second part of of The Hunter Wars series and follows directly on from part one, Hunter Wars. It can be read as a standalone series and is an exciting, fast-paced, unique take on the end of the world and the way the universe really works. Packed with great characters, humor and wild situations, it's a ride that you won't want to end.

Download or read book Anxiety in Eden written by John S. Tanner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanner uses Kierkegaard's thought, in particular his theory of anxiety, to enrich a bold new reading of Milton's Paradise Lost. He argues that for Milton and Kierkegaard, the path to sin and to salvation lies through anxiety, and that both writers include anxiety within the compass of paradise. The first half of the book explores anxiety in Eden before the Fall, original sin, the aetiology of evil, and prelapsarian knowledge. The second half examines anxiety after the Fall, offering original insights into such issues as the demonic personality, remorse, despair, and faith.

Jimmy Smits hosts the Los Angeles segment of Edens Lost and Found. Los Angeles made smog and pollution into household words. The effects of humans on natural ecosystems are extensive in this metropolis: native habitat is scarce, wildlife movement is obstructed, surface and groundwater quality are impaired, and ocean water quality is affected. But no longer. To everyone's surprise, Los Angeles is discovering mass transit. The Expo Line represents the first east-west light railline in Los Angeles in 50 years. But, more importantly, its citizens have said enough, and are putting not just their words, but their backs into the effort to recover the Edens they have lost. This video tells the stories of some of these people and grass-roots organizations. TreePeople, founded by Andy Lipkis, is leading the campaign to plant one million trees in the next decade. Girls Today, Women Tomorrow brings together profession women who mentor the girls of Boyle Heights, teaching them about nutrition, exercise, leadership skills and civic involvement.

This PBS special series witnesses and records a new spirit of cooperation among neighbors, planners, architects and builders, city officials, and government agencies. Former Washington Governor Gary Locke hosts the Seattle segment of Edens Lost and Found. "In every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." - The Iroquois Confederacy. From its history as home to the Salmon people who kept their ecosystem in careful balance to protect the future, to its present status as one of the fastest growing regions in the country, Seattle is walking a fine line. Can a "seventh generation" mindset become a value once more in a place that is so popular that people are flocking here and literally loving it to death? The Seattle segment of Edens Lost and Found illustrates that Seattle residents are buying into the "modern" philosophy and practice of sustainability. Developers are taking care to conserve storm water on site for use during the dry season. Seattle is taking alternative fuels seriously: it has the largest population of personal biodiesel users in the nation. Solar power, low-emissive glass, recycled and sustainable materials, green roofs -- these are becoming the "must-have" standards of the construction industry, and a clear statement that corporations value the environment enough to invest in it.

Philadelphia: The Holy Experiment, hosted by actor and Philadelphia resident David Morse, describes how concerned citizens like activists Doris Gualtney and Iris Brown, muralist Jane Golden, sculptor Lily Yeh, musician Kenny Gamble, gardener Mary Corby, restauranteur Judy Wicks, grieving father Ed Elliss, and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's "Philly Green" initiative spawned by Joan. Reilly, Jane Pepper and Blaine Bonham, Jr. have all combined to grow a new title - "Farmadelphia" - for the city founded by William Penn in honor of his father. The present-day "greening" of Philadelphia has many diverse and energetic faces but none is more dominant than its founder who laid out a groundwork for an Eden-like green, inhabitable city in the early 1700's, that is now being fulfilled.
