The two had a distant relationship, if any, for the extent of Daisy’s life.Įiseley’s half-brother gave him his first copy of Robinson Crusoe, with which he taught himself to read (Brill). His father was a hardware salesman and an amateur Shakespearean actor, and his mother (Daisy) had lost her hearing at a young age she would communicate with her son by thumping on the wooden floors of their home. Loren Corey Eiseley was born just outside of Lincoln, Nebraska, into a broken family. His job as an author was to bring complicated, abstract topics to the public, and to explain these topics in a manner that was pleasing to read. A graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in studio art, graphics, advertising, and journalism, Aaron Franco is a multimedia and graphic designer with a background in fine arts.Loren Eiseley has been named, perhaps blasphemously, a “modern Thoreau” (Wentz 1984). Ray Bradbury is a noted fantasy, horror, science fiction, and mystery writer, perhaps best known for his novel Fahrenheit 451. Eiseley (1907–77) was a nature science writer, philosopher, anthropologist, and educator, and was Benjamin Franklin Professor of Anthropology and History of Science at the University of Pennsylvania at his death.
