Review:
"As this posthumous collection verifies, Eiseley has rightly been called 'the modern Thoreau.'"—Publishers Weekly (Publishers Weekly)
"This volume contains much that Eiseley devotees will be grateful for, from the useful biographical overviews. . . . to the extensive and enlightening glimpses it affords into the intellectual and emotional workshop of one of the most original and influential American essayists of this century."—New York Times Book Review (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 (Los Angeles Times)
"It is a joy, like finding a lost Rembrandt in the attic, to discover that Eiseley left behind a legacy."—San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle (San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle)
"The best preparation a devoted reader could have for rereading the works of this author. . . . Provide[s] depth, substance, and plenty of room for further exploration. . . .The notebooks are a wonderful way to see a mind at work. . . . Carefully selected and edited by Kenneth Heuer, Eiseley's editor at Scribners, these notes, jottings, musings, and beginnings and endings will enhance any dedicated reader's knowledge of this most remarkable literary naturalist. . . . [T]hey provide more than a glimpse into Eiseley's mind and imagination."—The Bloomsbury Review (The Bloomsbury Review)
