Hello,

Thanks for the information, Bob. Is it possible to read the table of contents?

Best regards, Mikhail Maslov


RL> I just had the pleasure of reading Peter Bias's new book on Meteors and
RL> Meteor Showers. If I recall correctly, it has more than ten years since the 
RL> last book was written on this subject (by Neil Bone). Peter's book does an 
RL> excellent job of bring us up to date in the world of meteorics. The recent 
RL> Leonid return is thoroughly discussed with all the theories and results well 
RL> documented. Updated material on stream evolution is also included and well 
RL> illustrated. Actually, when looking at the table of contents, all aspects of 
RL> meteorics are included. By jolly, there was even a couple of items in the 
RL> book that were new to me! So this effort is not only for the beginner, but 
RL> will also shed some light on the items we old timers thought we knew.

RL> This is the book I wish I had written, but never had the time nor the talent 
RL> to present it in such an organized manner. Meteors and Meteor Showers is 
RL> available from Miracle Publishing ( http://www.miracle-publishing.com/) for 
RL> $29.95 + shipping and handling. It's well worth the price considering the 
RL> work Peter devoted to this work.

RL> Clear Skies!
