Description

Over 100 years after Percival Lowell founded his observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, it is still remembered by some primarily for the colorful controversy over the canals of Mars. This is undoubtedly unfair, since much more has been accomplished at Lowell Observatory in the intervening century. This volume is meant to be a series of vignettes in the Observatory's history. This volume is well-illustrated with photographs from the Lowell archives.
