- Loren Eiseley (September 3, 1907 – July 9, 1977) was an American anthropologist, educator, philosopher, and natural science writer, who taught and published books from the 1950s through the 1970s. During this period he received more than 36 honorary degrees and was a fellow of many distinguished professional societies. At his death, he was Benjamin Franklin Professor of Anthropology and History of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He was noted as a “scholar and writer of imagination and grace,” which gained him a reputation and record of accomplishment far beyond the campus where he taught for 30 years. Publishers Weekly referred to him as "the modern Thoreau. " The broad scope of his many writings considered such diverse topics as the mind of Sir Francis Bacon, the prehistoric origins of man, and the contributions of Charles Darwin. Eiseley’s national reputation was established mainly through his books, including The Immense Journey (1957), Darwin's Century (1958), The Unexpected Universe (1969), The Night Country (1971), and his memoir, All the Strange Hours (1975). Science author Orville Prescott praised him as a scientist who “can write with poetic sensibility and with a fine sense of wonder and of reverence before the mysteries of life and nature. “ Naturalist author Mary Ellen Pitts saw his combination of literary and nature writings as his "quest, not simply for bringing together science and literature... but a continuation of what the 18th and 19th century British naturalists and Thoreau had done. " According to his obituary in the New York Times, the feeling and philosophical motivation of the entire body of Dr. Eiseley’s work was best expressed in one of his essays, The Enchanted Glass: “The anthropologist wrote of the need for the contemplative naturalist, a man who, in a less frenzied era, had time to observe, to speculate, and to dream. ” Shortly before his death, he received an award from the Boston Museum of Science for his “outstanding contribution to the public understanding of science” and another from the U.S. Humane Society for his “significant contribution for the improvement of life and environment in this country. ”

Fue un muy respetado antropólogo, escritor científico, ecologista y poeta que publicó libros de ensayo y biografías durante los años 1950s '60s y '70s. Conocido por su fácil estilo poético, llamado “hidden essay”, lo usaba para explicar complejas ideas científicas, como la de la evolución humana, al público en general y para sus escritos de las relaciones humanas con el mundo natural, lo que llegó a inspirar el movimiento ecologista. Entre algunos de sus libros están: The Immense Journey (1957), Darwin's Century (1958), The Unexpected Universe (1969), The Night Country (1971) y la memoria All the Strange Hours (1975).

- Лорен Айзли — один из наиболее прославленных современных эссеистов Америки. Известный антрополог и натуралист, он дебютировал на литературном поприще в 1957 г. , выпустив по сей день переиздающийся сборник эссе «Необъятный путь» (англ. «The Immense Journey»), главная тема которого — эволюция жизни на Земле. Последовал еще десяток сборников эссе, очерков, рассказов и стихотворений, в которых писатель показал себя не только продолжателем в XX в. гуманистических традиций Ралфа Уолдо Эмерсона и Генри Девида Торо, но и выдающимся стилистом. Его книги вызвали восторженные отзывы таких непохожих друг на друга критиков, как английский поэт У. X. Оден и американский генетик русского происхождения Феодосий Добржанский, а фантаст Рэй Брэдбери писал, что благодаря им он стал другим человеком. Произведения Айзли включаются в антологии американской литературы как образцы стилистического мастерства и философской глубины, во многих университетах его капитальный труд о дарвинизме, «Век Дарвина», является обязательным чтением на кафедре философии естественных наук. За свои литературные заслуги он в 1971 г. был избран в члены Национального института искусства и литературы США — редкая честь для представителя академического мира.
