|  | All the Strange Hours by Kathleen A. Boardman, Loren Eiseley
Subtitled The Excavation of a Life, Loren Eiseley's autobiography, written in 1975, celebrates the wonders and mysteries of nature that were so important to Eiseley in his career as a cultural anthropologist and nature writer. Not a chronological account, it is rather a series of lit-up moments--many of them seemingly ordinary-- from his eventful personal and professional life, which he uses as the basis for his musings on deeper concerns. AUTHOR: Kathleen A. Boardman, Loren Eiseley
