Roughness near owner's bookplate. The dust jacket is price clipped. Edge chipping and 2 open corner tears." Dr. Eiseley in his his highly personal book narrates a naturalist's encounter with unexpected and symbolic aspects of the universe, ranging from seeds and hieroglyphs on shells, to such disparate things as the microscopic components of our bodies, the ice age, lost tombs, the goddess Circe, city dumps, and Neanderthal man. Through it all, like a hidden thread, binding the book together, runs the theme of desolation and renewal in the planet's history." Publisher
