[meteorite-list] Meteorite Magazine comments

[Dr. Svend Buhl]

Hello list,

the latest issue of Meteorite Magazine just impacted my letter box. As always Joel did a great job and compiled one of the best issues ever! 

The cover story  by brilliant author Christopher Cokinos titled “From Kansas to ‘The Ice’” is featuring the authors awesome journey to the South Pole as a member of the ANSMET Visiting Artist and Writers program. Well, if you read the article you will agree that they have sent the right man to the right place. 

Beside plenty of news and fascinating reports around the rocks that rule our world the November 2004 issue also comes with a long overdue “do it yourself” instruction to measure the exact density of your meteorites. The method described  by well known Edward Norton and Larry Chitwood is non-destructive and works with simple equipment.

But there is also an appeal by the editor which I may forward to this list since not all of its members have the opportunity to read this unique periodical. He is asking us to support his endeavors by helping to build up the community of readers. Just be creative. Donate a subscription to your local school or planetarium or present a gift subscription to a friend or acquaintance who is interested in meteorites. Link the Meteorite Magazine homepage (http://www.meteor.co.nz/) from your site. Take a copy to meteorite fairs and exhibitions and display it on your table. Recommend it to fellow dealers and clients. 

There is a lot you can do and the matter is worth it. 

thanks all

Svend Buhl
