| 520 | _a"Biography of Percival Lowell" by A. Lawrence Lowell is a comprehensive biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and achievements of Percival Lowell, a prominent American astronomer, particularly focusing on his studies in the fields of astronomy and Japanese culture. It aims to illustrate Lowell's intellectual pursuits, including his calculations of planetary orbits and his extensive travels in Japan, as well as his imaginative approach to scientific inquiry. At the start of the biography, the author discusses the formative years of Percival Lowell, detailing his upbringing, education, and early interests in astronomy. The narrative highlights the qualities inherited from his family that contributed to his brilliant intellect and work ethic. A particular focus is given to the pivotal experiences during his childhood, including education in France, travel experiences, and early fascination with astronomy, which set the foundation for his later groundbreaking work at his observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Lowell's scientific contributions and his unique perspective on the cultures he studied, particularly Japan, where he spent significant time and immersed himself in its language and traditions.
