For those of you who do not subscribe to METEORITE magazine, just a note on the great book review (November issue) by Br. Guy Consolmagno SJ, of Bill Cassidy's newly released book, "Meteorites, Ice, and Antarctica, A Personal Account".

This book is divided into three parts and Br. Consolmagno gives high marks for all three, "Setting the Stage", Field Results and their Consequences", and "Has it Been Worthwhile".

Bill Cassidy is considered "The Father of the US Antarctic search for meteorites program (ANSMET)" having convinced the NSF to fund this program back in 1976.

A great summary and lots of information on known Lunar and Martian meteorites found in Antarctica and elswhere.

This book, ISBN 0-521-25872-3, is 349 pages and is available for $30.00.

Regards,

Dave
