    "Dr. Eiseley has written a work of true science which must surely take its place also as great literature."--London Times Literary Supplement

    In an unusual blend of scientific knowledge and imaginative vision, Eiseley, anthropologist and naturalist, tells the story of man. He reveals life's endless mysteries in his own experiences, departing from their immediacy into meditations on the long past, wandering--intimate with nature--along the paths and byways of time, and then returning to the present.
    A local of Lincoln, Nebraska, Loren Eiseley lectured at a number of Universities, including Harvard, Columbia, and the University of California. He was the president of the American Institute of Human Paleontology, and a contributor to many leading scientific journals as well as periodicals such as Harper's, American Scholar, and Gentry. At his death in 1977, he was a Professor of History and Science at the University of Pennsylvania. View titles by Loren Eiseley
