5.0 out of 5 stars
I love the cover image!,

This review is from: Meteors in the Earth's Atmosphere: Meteoroids and Cosmic Dust and their Interactions with the Earth's Upper Atmosphere (Hardcover)
The leonid's fireball cover image is taken by me! But very sadly and disappointed, there is not any acknowledgement written anywhere in the book.
For the content, it is mostly about research on meteor. It is good for researchers, but not for leisure. Tommy Tang
