I just saw this book for sale on AstroMart at a good price. Is it a good
reference and/or read? Any juicy stuff about meteoroid streams in it? ...<<
Hi Lew,
This is a fine collection of purely scientific papers by about 48 different
authors. It dissects comets from many perspectives. Things like: split
comets, rotation of comet nuclei, five articles on dust, five coma studies,
ion tails, nucleus studies, plasma flows, Oort cloud articles, comets and
large meteors, etc. Published 1982. 760 pages or so. A year ago I
happened upon a used copy for $13.50.
I would recommend it as a reference. If you have specific questions about
the book Lew I can try and answer.---Tom
