The haunting melancholy that pervades much of Eiseley's work grew out of a loveless childhood in which he spent much time alone in the natural world. His mother was mentally ill and his father, a singularly unsuccessful traveling salesman, spent little time at home. Perhaps in an effort to compensate, Eiseley drove himself relentlessly to succeed. Gale E. Christian-son's biography offers an unexpurgated evaluation of a man whose difficult past helped shape the brilliant essays that continue to dazzle new audiences.<br><br></div> 785291 1 10 2000 Fox at the Wood's Edge: A Biography of Loren Eiseley total:3|5:1|4:1|3:1| 3 12 6 2 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1985 Thu Sep 04 19:33:48 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 19:41:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 07:30:56 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 07:31:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 26 19:24:32 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 19:24:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 14 14:49:59 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 14:49:59 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon May 19 06:47:52 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 06:47:52 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 19:46:36 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 18:43:18 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=799326
