Only 12 left in stock (more on the way). Until recently, I had never heard of Loren Eiseley. I was turned on to this book by someone's blog, where they had mentioned digging it up in a bookstore somewhere and taking a chance on it. The blogger had been thoroughly impressed and as he himself was an author that I liked, I decided that the book would be worth checking out for myself. After even the first chapter, it was easy to see that Eiseley was an incredible author and that he wrote with a style that differed markedly from anyone else I'd read before.

Loren Eiseley (September 3, 1907 – July 9, 1977) was an American anthropologist, educator, philosopher, and natural science writer, who taught and published books from the 1950s through the 1970s. He received many honorary degrees and was a fellow of multiple professional societies. At his death, he was Benjamin Franklin Professor of Anthropology and History of Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Loren Eiseley was born in Nebraska in 1907. An accomplished paleontologist teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, Eiseley turned late in his career to writing for a popular audience with the essay collection The Immense Journey, which became a surprise bestseller when published in 1957. It and the five collections that followed-The Firmament of Time, The Unexpected Universe, The Invisible Pyramid, The Night Country, and The Star Thrower-established him as one of America’s most beloved and distinctive naturalists.
