Fwd: Re: [meteorite-list] YES, THERE ARE LADIES HERE

[Platypus Girl]

Hello Pat,
   
  Thank you for the nice welcome and for the book suggestions.  I do have Rocks from space, 2nd edition.  I also have The Cambride Encylopedia of Meteorites.  I bought Rocks first, but then got the Encyclopedia, which seemed to offer a more substantial explanation, so I started to read it first, and it is very interesting.  I am really enjoying it.

Hi Suzi, 

Welcome to the list! You will find some great folks
and some great information here. 

There are a couple of great books that I can highly
recommend:

The modern classic is _Rocks From Space_ 2nd edition
by O. Richard Norton. This one is in print, can be
purchased from amazon.com 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0878423737/sr=1-1/qid=1154405841/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7883561-5277402?ie=UTF8&s=books

The older classic is a bit harder to get, as it is out
of print: _Find a Falling Star_ by Harvey H.
Ninninger. 

Another one you might enjoy is written by a female
meteoriticist called _The Rock from Mars_ by Kathy
Sawyer. This one is about ALH84001 the mars meteorite
found in antartica by another lady meteoriticist.

Welcome again to the list....
