If, in this book, I choose to act in the ambivalent character of pessimist and optimist, it is because mankind itself plays a similar contradictory role upon the stage of life ~ If I term humanity a slime mold organism it is because our present environment suggests it. If I remember the sunflower forest it is because from its hidden reaches man arose. The green world is his sacred center. In moments of sanity he must still seek refuge there." ~ From The Invisible Pyramid. ~ A distinguished naturalist and conservationist views the Space Age in this unique book~the first humanist account of the rocket century. Describing the rise of man as an organism devouring his environment and polluting his world space, Loren Eiseley charges that the wealth and inventive genius being poured into the Space Age constitutes a public sacrifice equivalent to the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza almost 5,000 years ago. In a striking analogy, he compares man to a slime mold organism which, exhausting its immediate surroundings, concentrates into multicellular "urban" congregations and creates special spore releasers before it dies. The explosive rupture of the spore containers may hurl the living seed as far away proportionately as man's journey to another planet. Roving widely over the cosmos which imprisons man, Dr. Eiseley, in bold and poetic prose, explores man's nature, his conception of time, and his first intrusion into space. The book's chapter titles themselves stir the imagination: The Star Dragon, The Cosmic Prison, The World Eaters, The Spore Bearers, The Time Effacers, Man in the Autumn Light, The Last Magician. The sensitive woodcuts by Walter Ferro re~create imaginatively allusions in the text ~such as the vivid image of the cyclic return of Halley's cornet~and are a perfect complement to it.
