Out of the Sky

by H H Nininger (out of print)

This is brilliant because it was published just at that time when meteoritics was coming up with very interesting results, so this book includes some of the new data that was coming out, using all these very innovative chemical techniques. Nininger really tried to involve the public in meteorites. He went round various places in the US and he said to the farmers: ‘If you’re ploughing in your field and you hit a big rock with these characteristics, let me know and I’ll come and have a look at it.’
