Dr. Rachel Evans, specialist in ancient languages and extinct cultures, would do anything to get the promotion she’s been passed over for twice before. That includes traipsing through an uncharted piece of jungle, known for being a land based Bermuda Triangle, with the man she hates more than any human being on the planet â€" her boss, Professor Donald Rumsinger.
What she doesn’t anticipate is being sacrificed by Donald to ensure their native guides’ continued cooperation on the expedition, or being rescued by a Tarzan-like sex god named Eros, who claims she’s his prophesied mate.
To ! make matters worse, Eros believes he is the King of the Atlanteans and that once the mating ceremony has taken place they’ll bear a child together who will lead his people off Earth and back to their home planet. Talk about delusions.
Rachel wants adventures and the sex with Eros is to die for, but is it worth letting go of her old life and past hurts? Is she strong enough to take her rightful place at Eros’s side as Queen of the Atlanteans? Or will she return to a tiny New York apartment to revel in her job promotion, forgetting all about the sultry nights she spent in Eros’s strong arms? Only time will tell…and it’s not talking.
Warning: This title contains adult language, explicit sex, and jungle sex. In other words...sex! Also contains themes of kidnap and seduction, which might offend some readers.NEWLY REVISED AND EXTENDED...

"A shockingly imaginative graphic novel that captures the sense of adventure and wonder that surrounds a new arrival on the shores of a shining new city. Wordless, but with perfect narrative flow, Tan gives us a story filled with cityscapes worthy of Winsor McCay." -- Jeff Smith, author of Bone
"A magical river of strangers and their stories!" -- Craig Thompson, author of Blankets
"Magnificent." -- David Small, Caldecott Medalist

Not long before her fiftieth birthday, Mackenzie Phillips made headlines with her arrest for drug possession at Los Angeles International Airport; the actor-musician-mother had been on her way to a reunion of One Day at a Time, the hugely popular ’70s sitcom on which she once starred as the lovable rebel Julie Cooper.
Born into rock-and-roll royalty, flying in Learjets to the Virgin Islands at five, making pot brownies with Donovan at eleven, Mackenzie grew up in an all-access kingdom of hippie freedom and heroin cool. As a rising Hollywood star h! erself, she joined the nonstop party in the hedonistic pleasure dome of her father’s making, and a rapt TV audience watched as Julie Cooper wasted away before their eyes. By the time Mackenzie discovered how deep and dark her father’s trip was going, it was too late.
As an adult, she has paid dearly for a lifetime of excess, working tirelessly to reconcile her wonderful, terrible past and the pull of her magnetic father. By sharing her journey toward redemption and peace, the star who turned up High on Arrival has finally come back down to earthâ€"to stay.It's early summer when Ginny and William's peaceful life in Vermont comes to an abrupt halt.
First, their daughter Lillian arrives, with her two children in tow, to escape her crumbling marriage. Next, their son Stephen and his pregnant wife Jane show up for a weekend visit, which extends indefinitely when Jane ends up on bed rest. When their youngest daughter Rachel appears, fleeing her difficult life! in New York, Ginny and William find themselves consumed again! by the chaos of parenthood - only this time around, their children are facing adult problems.
By summer's end, the family gains new ideas of loyalty and responsibility, exposing the challenges of surviving the modern family - and the old adage, once a parent, always a parent, has never rung so true.
Look around: the largest migration in human history is under way. For the first time ever, more people are living in cities than in rural areas. Between 2007 and 2050, the world’s cities will have absorbed 3.1 billion people. Urbanization is the mass movement that will change our world during the twenty-first century, and the “arrival city†is where it is taking place.
Â
The arrival city exists on the outskirts of the metropolis, in the slums, or in the suburbs; the American version is New York’s Lower East Side of a century ago or today’s Herndon County, Virginia. These are the places where newcomers try to establish new lives and to integrate themselves soc! ially and economically. Their goal is to build communities, to save and invest, and, hopefully, move out, making room for the next wave of migrants. For some, success is years away; for others, it will never come at all.
Â
As vibrant places of exchange, arrival cities have long been indicators of social health. Whether it’s Paris in 1789 or Tehran in 1978, whenever migrant populations are systematically ignored, we should expect violence and extremism. But, as the award-winning journalist Doug Saunders demonstrates, when we make proper investments in our arrival citiesâ€"through transportation, education, security, and citizenshipâ€"a prosperous middle class develops.
Â
Saunders takes us on a tour of these vital centers, from Maryland to Shenzhen, from the favelas of Rio to the shantytowns of Mumbai, from Los Angeles to Nairobi. He uncovers the storiesâ€"both inspiring and heartbreakingâ€"of the people who live there, and he shows us how the life or death o! f our arrival cities will determine the shape of our future.10.1" WXGA (1280x800) (LED Capacitive)/NVIDIA Tegra 3/1GB DDR2 RAM/64GB Flash Memory/Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)/802.11BGN/1.2MP Front Camera/8.0MP Rear Camera/Bluetooth 2.1/Up to 12 hours battery/G-Sensor/E-Compass/GPS/Light Sensor/Gyroscope/1YR North American WarrantyPaired for Perfection
