E-raamat: Meteorite Hunters: On the Trail of Extraterrestrial Treasures and the Secrets Inside Them

'They fall from the sky, and tell us about the universe: a passionate story of the excitement and the science of searching for and deciphering meteorites.' Carlo Rovelli 'Richly informative, readable... Its not difficult to appreciate the lure of tracking down meteorites.' Daily Mail 'Like a meteorite streaking through the night sky, this book really inspired me. It's full of incredible stories about the stuff that rains down from space every day and yet goes unnoticed except by a few intrepid science detectives. A thrilling read about the origin of the solar system that will change what you think when you next see a shooting star.' Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters 'A wonderful historical introduction informative, conversational and very readable.' Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell 'Part scientific detective story, part adventure tale, The Meteorite Hunters is the fascinating story of the quest to find and understand pieces of other worlds on our own planet. Joshua Howgego tells these remarkable stories, and the cutting-edge science they enable, to show how messengers from space are transforming our understanding of Earth's history and revealing our place in the cosmos.' Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish 'This is an extremely engaging read on a subject that everyone is aware of, but few of us know much detail about... A good popular science book should involve great storytelling and that's exactly what Howgego does here.' Popular Science ?????
