Meteorites of Alberta, Paperback by Whyte, Anthony J., ISBN 0888644752, ISBN-13 9780888644756, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Meteorites are history that can be touched, showing us what our solar system was like in the deep past. In this book, science writer Whyte looks at sixteen meteorites that landed in the Canadian province of Alberta, describing how each meteorite was found, what it is made of, and what that meteorite tells us about the nature of the universe. Additional chapters describe meteorite observation and recovery in Alberta, and Alberta's connection to the massive impact that killed off the dinosaurs. Generously illustrated with photos and maps--the photos of discoverers with "their" meteorites are particularly charming-- this book will interest would-be meteorite hunters, amateur astronomers, and scientists who study meteorites. (No, they are not called meteorologists.) Distributed by Michigan State U. Press. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
