Title: The History of Meteoritics and Key Meteorite Collections
Series: GSL Special Publications
Author/Editor: Edited by G J H McCall, A J Bowden and R J Howarth
Publication Date: 03 July 2006
Description: Fireballs, Falls and Finds

A "history of science" approach is adopted from the recognition after two millennia by science of the reality of meteorites falling from the sky and being extraterrestrially sourced. The book moves through the history of the great museum collections, the discovery of extraordinary fertile finds from cold and hot desert regions in the last fifty years. The revolution in meteoritics in the Space Age is described in the final chapters and an epilogue looks into the future.
