Space Nomads: Meteorites in Sky, Field, and Laboratory
Lincoln LaPaz and Jean LaPaz
A meteorite crashes into the Siberian taiga, another into an American wheatfield, and the hunt is on. Lincoln LaPaz tracks these visitors from space through sky, field, and laboratory, sorting real craters from false and chasing found and lost giants. A vivid guide to the stones that fall from heaven. Start looking down for pieces of the cosmos.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
