"I believe in Christ in all who defend the individual from the iron boot of the expanding collective state." - Loren Corey Eiseley (1907-1977)
Loren Eiseley was an American anthropologist, educator, philosopher, and natural science writer, who taught and published books from the 1950s through the 1970s. He received many honorary degrees and was a fellow of multiple professional societies. He was an award-winning author and former Provost of the University of Pennsylvania.
Eiseley's first book, The Immense Journey, was about the history of humanity, and it appealed to a mass audience. It has sold over a million copies and has been published in at least 16 languages. The Immense Journey established him as a writer with the ability to combine science and humanity in a poetic way.
