In All the
Light Here Comes from Above:
The Life and Legacy of
Edward Hitchcock,
Massachusetts author Robert T.
McMaster brings Edward Hitchcock
to life for his readers. Relying
largely on Hitchcock's own words
from his letters, notes, and
other unpublished manuscripts,
McMaster presents an intimate
view of the man, his scientific
achievements and his theological
writings, as well as his battles
with powerful personal demons
that threatened him at every
turn. Each chapter is introduced
with a vignette, a scene from
the life of Edward Hitchcock or
his family, that reveals the
humanity of the man with
dignity, charm, and humor.
DARIA D’ARIENZO, co-author of Orra
White Hitchcock, 1796-1863: An
Amherst Woman of Art and
Science and Archivist of
Meekins Library writes of All the
Light Here Comes from Above:
“One hundred fifty-six years
after Hitchcock’s death,
Robert T. McMaster revisits
the life and scientific work
of the noted New England
geologist, capturing his
relevance to the history of
scientific study. McMaster
engages the reader with a
combination of well
documented details of
Hitchcock’s scientific
endeavors and the use of
imaginative introductory
'vignettes' to each
chapter…McMaster’s new study
demonstrates that Edward
Hitchcock is worth a fresh
look.”
