2009, First Edition. New York : Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin. Weaving natural history, memoir, and the stories of maverick scientists, daring adventurers, and stargazing dreamers, this book takes us from Antarctica to outer space to tell the tale of how the study of meteorites became a scientific passion. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. ; 517 pages; Description: 517 p. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Subjects: Meteorites --Miscellanea. Item #154926
