Rocks from Space: Meteorites and Meteorite Hunters

Rating:
Summary: An excellent introduction to Asteroids and Comets!
Review: With the public's awareness of possible planetary collisions (Jupiter and Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9) and the recent visitation by comet Hale-Bopp, many people will be interested enough to do a little background reading on the subject. I highly recommend this book for starters! I like it because you may delve deeply into minutae, such as the chemistry of meteorites, check the charts and graphs, or simply read the good stories about meteorite hunting! Great pictures abound inside as well, though most are black and white. Please consider that this book is intended for older teenagers and adults but take the kids out to see the night sky after reading. Thanks!
