"[Loren Eiseley] is every writer's writer, and every human's human ... One of us, yet most uncommon." - Ray Bradbury
Drawing from his long experience as a naturalist, anthropologist, and philosopher, The Unexpected Universe features Loren Eiseley's best essays on the natural world and the human condition. A nonpareil storyteller, Eisley shockingly reframes the symbols of our universe and investigates our very instinct to bear meaning upon them. Scrupulous scholarship and magical prose are administered to such diverse topics as seeds, the hieroglyphs on shells, mythic lost tombs, the goddess Circe, and our Neanderthal ancestors. An undeniable masterpiece, The Unexpected Universe is a standout in both the canon of essays and nature writing, and has forever changed the outlook of all who read it.
