Before the return of lunar samples, they were the only materials from beyond the Earth which we could take in hand and study.\u003cbr\u003eThis book gives a concise and up-to-date description of meteorites - fall phenomena, chemical and mineral composition, classification - as well as a discussion of their formation and origin, which also tells us the story of the formation of our Planetary System. The text is understandable for laymen and students, but can also be used as an introduction to the field for students and scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-02-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540581055\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-57786-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 205cm x133cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 233\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341270675596,"sku":"9783540581055","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540581055.jpg?v=1775761187","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540581055","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
