The location of the Garden of Eden should be one of those unanswerable questions, such as 'what song did the sirens sing?' This has not stopped speculation on the topic. Some of these works treat Eden as a metaphor for the human body, such as this text. Others were much more literal. William Warren wrote this 500 page tome to propose a polar Eden, in some primeval ice-free epoch. He systematically employs data from contemporary geology, ethnology, zoology, botany and paleontology to bolster this argument.

The argument of this book is obviously moot, and much of the hard scientific data is either misinterpreted or obsolete. However, Warren's review of the literature of the folklore of the world-mountain, the tree of life, and the earthly paradise is of continuing value, and worth reading if you have any interest in the mysteries of our past.
