Alexander von Humboldt: A Metabiography
This is a loose collection of some of Loren's unpublished writings from his notebooks. There's some poetry, lots of short essays and snippets, and some drafts of longer pieces he planned to work on but never got to.
If you're a fan of Eiseley's, you'll want to have this and read it. If you're not yet a fan of Eiseley's, then I wouldn't start here because it's pretty much unfinished. Try "The Immense Journey," "The Night Country," or "The Star Thrower."
