[meteorite-list] New meteorite book The Fallen Sky

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

Chris Cokinos, the author of "The Fallen Sky: An Intimate History of  
Shooting Stars" is a friend of mine, and I was privileged to assist  
him in some very small ways with a few aspects of the book's  
production during the past several years. I have been reading an  
advance copy for some time, and will be reviewing "TFS" for the  
November issue of "Meteorite."

Chris is a brilliant author, and brings a literary quality to writing  
about meteorites that we have not seen before. I found "TFS" to be the  
most enthralling meteorite book I have read since "Find a Falling  
Star" and I heartily recommend it to both meteorite enthusiasts and  
those who enjoy contemplative non-fiction. "TFS" is a highly personal  
work. Don't expect to read a lot of numbers and details about  
classification. Do expect to read a unique and inspiring work about  
the allure, history, and mystery of meteorites.

If you are open minded and keen to go along with a gifted author on  
his journey of discovery, then "TFS" is a must-have.
