	River Out Of Eden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		River Out of Eden is a 1995 popular science book by Richard Dawkins.
		It is a river of information, not a river of bones and tissues: a river of abstract instructions for building bodies, not a river of solid bodies themselves.
		River Out of Eden has been described by Douglas Adams as "a model of simplicity and power", which qualities would make it an ideal introduction both to the subject of evolution and to Dawkins's work.

	Has the Garden of Eden been located at last?
		The wording in Genesis that Eden's river came into four heads" was dealt with by Biblical scholar Ephraim Speiser some years ago: the passage, he said, refers to the four rivers upstream of their confluence into the one river watering the Garden.

	Review of Richard Dawkins's "River Out of Eden" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		Richard Dawkins is deservedly the best-known popularizer and philosopher of the theory of evolution, and his books were one of my sources in that nascent debate.
		"River Out of Eden" is a shorter and lighter version of the same thing.
		This is a good book, and while it is rather quick and introduces no brand-new paradigms, it does neatly condense Dawkins' major thoughts about life and evolution, and gives enough interesting recent results and illuminating new examples to be valuable to long-time Dawkins readers as well as random passers-by.

	Edens
		The location of Eden is given in Genesis 2:10-14: "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
		And the fourth river is Euphrates." In this passage it must be noted that the original Hebraic reference regarding the Gihon River was that it encompassed the land of "Kush" or "Gush".
		It was proposed by Zarins that presently, the Shat-al-Arab (meaning "river of the Arabs" in Arabic) is the remnant of the river that went out of Eden.

	CHRS - Upper Restigouche River - Fact Sheet
		An American writer called it “the river out of Eden”, the Mi’kmaq called it “he who disobey’s his father”, the French explorers called it “Ristigouche” and legions of avid fishing enthusiasts have called it “the best darned salmon river in the world.” It is New Brunswick’s famed Restigouche River.
		The Restigouche River has touched the lives of many people, from the Mi’kmaq, for whom it was a major transportation route, to poor Irish immigrants seeking a better life, to sports fishermen, and to the children who play along its banks.
		Scottish settlers were also among the first to clear land for agricultural purposes on the banks of the river but because of the rough terrain and harsh weather, agriculture was a difficult way of life and many of the farmers turned to other methods of earning a livelihood, such as fishing.

		There is a river of DNA that flows throughout the history of life on Earth; it travels from the past to the future.
		Dawkins is always quick to point out that this does not mean that "life is pointless, without meaning." Far from it: living beings assign their own value, their own meaning to their lives--- it is not something designated by some force or will of nature.
		River Out of Eden was published in 1995 by Basic Books, a division of Harper Collins Publishers.

		I approached the task out of a sense of duty, accepting the wisdom of his advice but wishing there was some way out.
		Wright clearly brings out the way in which genetically influenced patterns of behaviour that evolved because they were advantageous in a hunter- gatherer society influenced what seems superficially to be a very different society in 19th century England.

	The First River of Eden!
		While two of the four rivers mentioned in this passage are recognizable today and flow in the same general location as they did before the Flood, the other two have apparently disappeared from the face of the earth.
		The main reason the account of the rivers of Eden is so difficult to understand is because the interpreters of the Bible have completely missed the point of what Moses was saying.
		In his description of this river system, he was simply giving a geographical description of the HEAD (that is, the central 'hub') where the four rivers branched out from one another" (Solving the Riddle of Noah's Flood, pp.

		Deeply imprinted on the area is the legacy of Joseph H. Stewart, Eden Valley’s founder who became the patriarch of Southern Oregon’s fruit industry.
		That half-century period of orchard history encompassed the planting of the first Rogue River Valley commercial pear orchard on this land, the expansion of the orchard industry, and the industry’s decline with the onset of the Great Depression.
		Preceding Stewart and Voorhies families was the Ball family, whose homestead remains on the Eden Valley property, which after restoration will live on as an interpretive center for the pear and wine industries in Southern Oregon.

		Like The Landing Force Manual, "River Out of Eden" is an arsenal of topics that, once learned, may be applied in conversational combat with those still resisting the idea that evolution is the way life works.
		For his lucid explanation of the gene as the foundation for life's workings, he was dubbed The Great Reductionist by those uncomfortable with the concept that genes tend to override the treasured idea of "free will" overriding Nature.
		With River Out of Eden, Dawkins proves his ability by presenting an even more comprehensible account of how DNA is the foundation for life's mechanics.

		Although they used the landscape model developed by early European artists, Cole and the other Hudson River School artists developed an individual iconography that was expressive of this vision, of the characterization of American as a Garden, provinically set aside by God for his chosen people, the Americans.
		While they would eventually come to represent both the coming sectional crisis and tension over the encoaching technology that threaten the landscape, their original purpose was to represent the dark and violent side of the sublime, the terribilita, the primitive garden of which Leo Marx writes.
		Trees are the true heros of Hudson River art, as Cole wrote "they are like men...they exhibit striking peculiarities, and sometimes grand originality." The trees of the American landscape have a primitive quality that sets them apart from Europe, and their autumnal color "surpasses all the world in gorgeousness".
