Percival Lowell: The Culture and Science of a Boston Brahmin
David Strauss
Elder brother of Harvard President Lawrence and poet Amy, Percival Lowell is best known as the astronomer who claimed intelligent beings had built canals on Mars. But the Lowell who emerges here was a polymath: not just a self-taught astronomer, but a shrewd investor, skilled photographer, inspired public speaker, and adventure-travel writer.
