Title: First-hand adventures
Review: The Night Country describes the setting of many of Eiseley's stories in this book. His encounters with nature occur when most of the world is asleep. For him, this time is ripe for thinking, reading, or exploring. The mostly first-hand adventures describe his interaction with animals (spiders, cattle, birds) and with recovered bones. With the first he demonstrates to the reader his affinity with wildlife -- sensing what they might do and achieving camaraderie with them. With the second he fulfills his nickname -- being known as 'the little bone hunter'. He quested to discover evidence that linked humans to their prehistoric ancestors. These entertaining essays about nature reiterate his philosophy that the future of humanity for good or ill lies in their intelligent actions.
