Clyde Tombaugh - Discoverer of Planet Pluto, David H. Levy, University of Arizona Press 1991. This is a delightful, friendly and just plain nice biography about the discoverer of the planet pluto. David Levy has researched the life and career of Tombaugh, especially the Lowell Observatory days, with great thoroughness and sensitivity. He has extracted the earnestness and excitement that was buried in the rather routine life of a fine but little known astronomer and breathed life into the hard work, almost drudgery, that went into Tombaughs discoveries. I feel that this is a really nice book. I enjoyed reading it.
