"ROCKS FROM SPACE. What a great book!"
Absolutely true! There are three copies on my shelf - one of
them signed by Richard and Dorothy (No, it's not or sale!)
"after I read this I will add to my knowledge of this great hobby."
Again true as true can be! If a newbie or a "rookie" jumps into
this great hobby and starts with the "wrong" books, i.e. books
and articles that are far beyond his/her grasp, he or she will soon
lose interest in this hobby.
I would never advise a newbie to buy and read:
HUTCHISON R. (2004) Meteorites: A Petrologic, Chemical, and Isotopic Synthesis
Before you can read (and understand) such a book, O.R. Norton's RFS
and O.R. Norton's Encyclopedia of Meteorites are a *m u s t read* !!!
Best from snowy
Southern Germany,
