Hailed by the Times Literary Supplement as a work of sound science and great literature, this charming and brilliant essay on evolution and the human situation gained Mr. Eiseley many friends and admirers on both sides of the Atlantic. His scholarly work, Darwin's Century, published a year later, also won acclaim as a thoughtful and original interpretation of Darwin's place in the history of science.
