We know today that the original Indians of North America are not the lost tribes of Israel as so many antiquarians and historians from the 1790's to the late 1800's claimed them to be. It is known today that the Western Hemisphere has had numerous visitors from across the sea both from the east and the west. Some came to trade and depart while others came to stay. The ones that might have stayed is the mystery Jenkins seeks answers to. It is a paradox as to why so many artifacts are found in the Western Hemisphere which are clearly not part of the indigenous cultural matrix and are refused as authentic by most archaeologists. Yet, they are found all across this land of North America. The most familiar word to describe these anomalous finds is "Hebraisms." Timothy R. Jenkins book, The Ten Tribes of Israel, originally published in 1883, is one man's collective work showing the cultural similarities, written records, oral history and language traits which have "Hebraism" connections.

This book argues that, paradoxically, at their moment of triumph and fastest growth, cities need nature more than ever. Only if our urban world is full of biophilic cities will the coming urban century truly succeed. Cities are quintessentially human, the perfect forum for interaction, and we are entering what could justly be called the urban century, the fastest period of urban growth in human history. Yet a growing body of scientific literature shows that the constant interaction, the hyper-connectedness, of cities leads to an urban psychological penalty. Nature in cities can be solution to this dilemma, allowing us to have all the benefits of our urban, connected world yet also have that urban home be a place where humanity can thrive. This book presents best practices and case studies from biophilic design, showing how cities around the world are beginning to incorporate nature into their urban fabric. It will be a valuable resource for scholars and professionals working in the area of sustainable cities.
