From other reviews: "Eiseley has rightly been called 'the modern Thoreau.'" –"Publishers Weekly;" "extensive and enlightening glimpses ... into the intellectual and emotional workshop of one of the most original and influential American essayists of this century." –"New York Times Book Review;" "Eiseley's great genius for the art of the word coupled with a poetic insight into the connection between science and humanism shines through in page after page ... This is a book that will be read and quoted and whose pages will grow thin with wear from hands in continued search of new meaning within its words and images." –"Los Angeles Times;" "it will enhance any dedicated reader's knowledge of this most remarkable literary naturalist ... They provide more than a glimpse into Eiseley's mind and imagination." –"The Bloomsbury Review;" "It is a joy, like finding a lost Rembrandt in the attic, to discover that Eiseley left behind a legacy." –"San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle."
