Justin Martin is the author of three biographies, with Frederick Law Olmsted - landscape architect, abolitionist, journalist, renaissance man - as his latest subject. Earlier efforts: a national best-seller on Fed chairman Alan Greenspan and a life of Ralph Nader that served as a primary source for An Unreasonable Man, an Academy Award-nominated documentary. Martin is a former staff writer at Fortune magazine. His articles have appeared in a variety of publications including Newsweek, Money, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
Martin is a 1987 graduate of Rice University in Houston, Texas. He lives with his wife and twin sons in Forest Hills Gardens, New York, a landmark neighborhood designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. In his spare time, Martin runs marathons (he's completed seven) and gardens (he's grown some great tomatoes, but his experiments in urban corn-growing have so far failed).
