Alvin Lowi, Jr: American Polymath

Alvin Lowi, Jr. was one of the most interesting people you've probably never heard of. In addition to being an actual rocket scientist, he could legitimately be called a polymath: "An individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems."

In a professional life that spanned more than 60 years, Al juggled several vocations. He was an engineer, entrepreneur, philosopher, physicist, inventor, and author. He held more than 30 patents and wrote more than 100 articles, essays, and monographs. This book is part biography and part autobiography. Wherever possible it features Al's thoughts and recollections in his own words. He was a gifted communicator.
