Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.
Every day tons of cosmic dust enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up as falling starts. Sometimes larger stones fall from the sky to the land as meteorites, perhaps causing minor damage in the process.... This book draws together different branches of science and presents a picture of why such collisions occur, what happens when they do, and what the consequences of one might be for the Earth and its inhabitants. Black cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos. 197 pages including index. ISBN: 0947795200. SIGNED by author to title page. Bumping along cover edges.
