[meteorite-list] Re Ad Brand new meteorite book

[meteoriteplaya at comcast.net]

Hi All
I would like to announce a new book on meteorites. I have included information about the book at the bottom of the post. It should be published around the first of the year. Cost is only $89 plus shipping which is quite a bargain for a 756 page book. So if you are interested in a copy please let me know ASAP and I will hold a copy for you and let you know the total cost when it arrives.

METEORITES, COMETS, AND PLANETS

Edited By 
A.M. Davis, University of Chicago, IL, USA

Reprinted individual volume from the acclaimed Treatise on 
Geochemistry (10 Volume Set, ISBN 0-08-043751-6, published in 2003) 
Paperback, ISBN: 0-08-044720-1, 756 pages, publication date: 2005

Volume 1 provides a broad overview of the chemistry of the solar 
system. It includes chapters on the origin of the elements and solar 
system abundances, the solar nebula and planet formation, meteorite 
classification, the major types of meteorites, important processes in 
early solar system history, geochemistry of the terrestrial planets, 
the giant planets and their satellite, comets, and the formation and 
early differentiation of the Earth. This volume is intended to be the 
first reference work one would consult to learn about the chemistry 
of the solar system.
