It is the autobiographical account of Harvey Nininger, the "father" of modern meteoritics. Nininger was a founding member of teh Meteoritical Society, the scientific body which studies meteorites. Completely non-technical. You can get a copy for about $50.00 from Ed Thompson. Aother great book is William Cassidy's Meteorites, Ice and Antartica. Cassidy is the founder of ANSMET - Antartic Search for Meteorites. Only the second part is technical. A third non-technical book is Meteorite Hunter: The Search for Siberian Meteorite Craters by Roy Gallant. Very easy reading. Relaxed and conversational style of writing. -Walter -------------------- GSO 10 inch Dob Edited by meteorite (04/08/08 10:28 PM) Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Publications of interest Glassthrower 04/03/08 10:37 AM Re: Welcome! csa/montana   04/03/08 10:48 AM Re: Welcome!
