This book is a compilation of favorite essays of the editor from Eiseley's other books of essays. The title comes. from everybody's favorite essay. I was really searching for the original book (Invisible Universe, I believe) with the "Star Thrower" story, but bought this instead and enjoyed the editor's selections. Something new for Eiseley fans and some of his best if you are not determined to read all his stuff.

Star Thrower, a Home Run
Another fascinating masterpiece by the late poet/anthropologist, Loren Eiseley. Almost as absorbing as his masterpiece, The Immense Journey.
