Loren Eiseley Reader

The Reader is an anthology of Eiseley's most popular essays, intended for K-16 classroom use. The foreword is by noted author Ray Bradbury, and illustrations are by Lincoln artist Aaron Franco.

Published in 2009, The Reader has an illustrated map of Loren Eiseley's Nebraska, including locations of archaeological discoveries by Eiseley and The South Party from the University of Nebraska State Museum. Also included are several photos of Eiseley, his family and colleagues.

Quote:
"The door to the past is a strange door. It swings open and things pass through it, but they pass in one direction only. No man can return across that threshold, though he can look down still and see the green light waver in the water weeds."
