Course Description

Mr. Dolliver will introduce us to the life and works of Loren Eiseley (1907-77), an American anthropologist, educator, philosopher, and natural science writer.  Eiseley has been called “the modern Thoreau” and his writings often evoke the feeling that “we are accompanying him on a journey into the very heart of the universe”.

Inspiration for this lecture is the Star Thrower, an anthology of Loren Eiseley’ s writing published in 1978 and Loren Eiseley:  Collected Essays on Evolution, Nature, and the Cosmos (2016).

 

Paul Dolliver earned degrees in history and geology from Baylor University.  He also pursued graduate studies in the History of Science at Harvard University.  He is a geologist, college instructor, reader, walker, and Texas Master Naturalist.  Paul has been involved with SAIL for several years and has facilitated discussion groups for over 30 years.  He currently teaches oceanography at Collin College.
