"A fascinating self-portrait by an extraordinary man."—Library
Journal
"There can be no question that Loren Eiseley maintains a place of
eminence among nature writers. His extended explorations of human
life and mind, set against the backdrop of our own and other
universes are like those to be found in every book of nature
writing currently available. . . . We now routinely expect our
nature writers to leap across the chasm between science, natural
history, and poetry with grace and ease. Eiseley made the leap at a
time when science was science, and literature was, well,
literature. . . . His writing delivered science to nonscientists in
the lyrical language of earthly metaphor, irony, simile, and
narrative, all paced like a good mystery."—Bloomsbury Review
