Hi there,

has anyone already read already the new book:

Atlas of Meteorites,
by Pratesi, Cecchi, Grady ?

Cambridge University Press
(ISBN 9780521840354)

How is it?

Description reads very promising.

"The Atlas of Meteorites is a complete visual reference for meteorite
classification. Following an introductory chapter, the book contains one
chapter on each main class of meteorite. The main characteristics of each
class are described, including mineralogical, chemical and isotopic data.
Fully labelled, colour optical micrograph images of thin and thick sections
of meteorites show the mineralogical and textural characteristics of each
class. The book contains a CD-ROM with additional meteorite images and data,
including video clips showing meteorites during stage rotation. This is an
invaluable reference for academic researchers, graduate students, and
professional meteorite collectors and dealers."

And where is it available?

Thanks and Best!
Martin
