• Sommario/riassunto: Loren Eiseley's 'The Invisible Pyramid' explores the intersection of human history, cosmic events, and environmental concerns. Through a series of reflective essays, Eiseley contemplates humanity's place in the universe, drawing from themes of memory, dreams, and environmental challenges. The book is informed by lectures delivered in 1969 and reflects on the journey of Halley's Comet as a metaphor for humanity's own trajectory. Eiseley addresses the contradictions of human existence, balancing optimism and pessimism about the future. His work is aimed at readers interested in environmental science, history, and philosophy, encouraging reflection on mankind's capacity to create and destroy.
