Meteorites: The Story of Our Solar System

This book is chock full of tons of information about meteorites. It reads on many levels. Novice to scientist.

This is a great books for the diagrams and photos alone. I've bought twice for school and home just to have it available. There are other books that cover more about meteorites, but the others often lack pictures. As a teaching tool, this book is the best investment.

Very good book on origins, sizes, and structures of common and unusual varieties of meteorites. Enjoyed the read, but I would like to have seen additional scale bars superimposed on the specimen images, rock samples, and micrographs. The sizes of these attributes can provide additional information on sample cooling rates, etc. This methodology was discussed in papers about the the Canyon Diablo meterorite and lunar soils (J. Goldstein and P. Blau, 1973).

I bought this for my 13 year old granddaughter who is interested in meteorites. The writing was very easy to understand, very informative, but not gear down to children (she appreciated that) The photographs and diagrams were absolutely beautiful. I almost wish I had bought a second book for myself

Excellently written!

The writing is easy to read and understand and it is a good quality printing.

Nice book with a good amount of information.

Ich besitze sehr viele Bücher über Meteoriten aber dieses kleine Büchlein nehm ich immer wieder gern in die Hand. Für Einsteiger in das Thema sehr gut geeignet.

非常に良いです

This book has been extremely well researched, and uncovers some surprising facets of the background and use of meteorites in human history, as well as a host of scientific information of interest to most readers. Thoroughly recommended

A nicely illustrated and clearly presented source of information about the history, sources and types of meteorites.
