Berkeley and Percival

Berkeley and Percival

Cambridge University Press
2014
pokkari
First published in 1914, this book contains the correspondence between the philosopher George Berkeley (1685–1753), afterwards Bishop of Cloyne, and Sir John Percival (1711–70), later Earl of Egmont, from 1709 until Berkeley's death. The letters reflect the growing affection between these two important figures in Anglo-Irish history, and give intimate first-person accounts of the events of each man's life and career. Extracts from Percival's journal and a biographical note on the lives, careers and friendship of both men are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in eighteenth-century Anglo-Irish politics.

Biography of Percival Lowell

Biography of Percival Lowell

The Biography of Percival Lowell is a comprehensive account of the life and work of Percival Lowell, an American astronomer who is best known for his studies of the solar system and his controversial theories about the existence of intelligent life on Mars. Written by Abbott Lawrence Lowell, Percival's brother and a prominent lawyer and educator, this book draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and personal papers, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of Percival's personality, interests, and achievements.The book begins by tracing Percival's early life and education, including his studies at Harvard University and his travels to Europe and Asia. It then explores his career as an astronomer, which began in earnest in the late 1880s when he established the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Percival's work at the observatory focused primarily on the study of Mars, and he became convinced that the planet was home to a network of canals that were evidence of an intelligent civilization.The book delves into the controversy that surrounded Percival's theories about Mars, which were met with skepticism by many of his peers in the scientific community. It also explores his other astronomical work, including his studies of the planet Pluto, which he predicted would exist long before it was discovered.Beyond his scientific pursuits, the book also examines Percival's personal life, including his marriage to Constance Savage and his relationships with his siblings and other family members. It also touches on his broader interests, such as his fascination with Japanese culture and his advocacy for the construction of a transcontinental railroad.Overall, The Biography of Percival Lowell offers a fascinating and in-depth look at the life of one of America's most influential astronomers, shedding light on his achievements, his controversies, and his enduring legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Conversations with Percival Everett

Conversations with Percival Everett

University Press of Mississippi
2017
nidottu
For the first eighteen years of his career, Percival Everett (b. 1956) managed to fly under the radar of the literary establishment. He followed his artistic vision down a variety of unconventional paths, including his preference for releasing his books through independent publishers. But with the publication of his novel erasure in 2001, his literary talent could no longer be kept under wraps. The author of more than twenty-five books, Everett has established himself as one of America’s—and arguably the world’s—premier twenty-first-century fiction writers. Among his many honors since 2000 are Hurston/Wright Legacy Awards for erasure and I Am Not Sidney Poitier (2009) and three prominent awards for his 2005 novel Wounded—the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Fiction, France’s Prix Lucioles des Libraires, and Italy’s Premio Vallombrosa Gregor von Rezzori Prize.Interviews collected in this volume—several of which appear in print or in English translation for the first time—display Everett’s abundant wit as well as the independence of thought that has led to his work being described as “characteristically uncharacteristic.” At one moment he speaks with great sophistication about the fact that African American authors are forced to overcome constraining expectations about their subject matter that white writers are not. And in the next he talks about training mules or quips about “Jim Crow,” a pet bird Everett had on his ranch outside Los Angeles. Everett discusses race and gender, his ecological interests, the real and mythic American West, the eclectic nature of his work, the craft of writing, language and linguistic theory, and much more.
