Book Description
I thought death was the end of my life. As it turns out, I’ll battle heaven itself to get back to the living—and to the man I love. When Nia Rivers sacrificed herself to keep any other immortals from dying, she assumed her long life had finally come to an end. But death is only the beginning, and for an adventurer like Nia, there is no rest—not even in the afterlife. Now, Nia finds herself in the underworld’s Garden of Eden, and all is not well in paradise. Angels urge the eradication of humanity for its crimes, and as those on Earth continue to commit heinous acts affecting all of creation, God seems less inclined to say no with every passing day. Humanity’s future looks bleak, but Nia and her friends are accustomed to preventing genocide. Now it’s up to them to stop the Apocalypse itself. But first, they’ll have to find a way to claw their way back to the surface and rejoin the world of the living. Of course, that might involve fighting an army of angels and defying God herself. No one ever said coming back from the dead would be easy…but if Nia doesn’t get back to Earth soon, there won’t be anything left to return to. Get this hot urban fantasy featuring spine-tingling adventure, twists on historical mysteries, and thrilling romance, where Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones—and they live forever!

Paradise Lust
Author: Brook Wilensky-Lanford
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802195636
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
A “certainly weird . . . strangely wonderful . . . [and] often irresistible” search to find the real Garden of Eden (The New York Times Book Review). Where, precisely, was God’s Paradise? St. Augustine had a theory. So did medieval monks, John Calvin and Christopher Columbus. But when Darwin’s theory of evolution changed our understanding of human origins, shouldn’t the desire to put a literal Eden on the map have faded away? Not so fast. This “gloriously researched, pluckily written historical and anecdotal assay of humankind’s age-old quixotic quest for the exact location of the Biblical garden” (Elle) explores an obsession that has consumed scientists and theologians alike for centuries. To this day, the search continues, taken up by amateur explorers, clergymen, scholars, engineers and educators—romantic seekers all who started with the same simple-sounding Bible verses, only to end up at a different spot on the globe: Sri Lanka, the Seychelles, the North Pole, Mesopotamia, China, Iraq—and Ohio. Inspired by an Eden seeker in her own family, “Wilensky-Lanford approaches her subjects with respect, enthusiasm and conscientious research” (San Francisco Chronicle) as she traverses a century-spanning history provoking surprising insights into where we came from, what we did wrong, and where we go from here. And it all makes for “a lively journey” (Kirkus Reviews).

Inventing Eden
Author: Zachary McLeod Hutchins
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199998159
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Previous scholars have noted the Puritans' edenic descriptions of New World landscapes, but Inventing Eden is the first study to fully uncover the integral relationship between the New England interest in paradise and the numerous iconic intellectual artifacts and social movements of colonial North America. Harvard Yard, the Bay Psalm Book, and the Quaker use of antiquated pronouns like thee and thou: these are products of a seventeenth-century desire for Eden. So, too, are the evangelical emphasis of the Great Awakening, the doctrine of natural law popularized by the Declaration of Independence, and the first United States judicial decision abolishing slavery. Be it public nudity or Freemasonry, Zachary Hutchins convincingly shows how a shared wish to bring paradise into the pragmatic details of colonial living had a profound effect on early New England life and its substantial culture of letters. Spanning two centuries and surveying the works of major British and American thinkers from James Harrington and John Milton to Anne Hutchinson and Benjamin Franklin, Inventing Eden is the history of an idea that irrevocably altered the theology, literature, and culture of colonial New England -- and, eventually, the new republic.
