Review:
"If you want to know where the canals came from and where they went, read this entertaining and educational book." —American Scientist"A well-written story. . . . Lowell and Mars is intended first for a general audience, but the author's extensive research in the Lowell Observatory Archives also makes this book a valuable compendium of a vast amount of historical material." —Journal for the History of Astronomy"Hoyt's writing style—simply, clear, and direct—is a joy to read." —Astronomy"The controversies and jealousies that marked Lowell's life and the many sides of his personality are skillfully laid out." —Carl Sagan in New Republic
