Born, raised, and educated in Lincoln, Nebraska, Loren Eiseley
(1907-77) was a highly respected writer and poet best known for
explaining complex scientific concepts in poems easily read and
understood by the general public. Much of his work covered
anthropology, ecology, and human evolution, topics in which Eiseley
himself was extensively educated. "Loren Eiseley" collects essays
and remembrances of his work by friends and academics. Throughout
this volume, Eiseley is praised as a brilliant thinker,
accomplished writer, and esteemed man of science who drew
inspiration from his midwestern upbringing and worked to bring
science into the mainstream at a time when its understanding was
restricted largely to those working directly in the field. Decades
after his departure from the world he sought to understand, Eiseley
is lauded for beautifully joining the worlds of science and
literature.
