From Library Journal
Dodd (Mineralogy, SUNY at Stony Brook) has come up with a most contemporary and scientifically satisfying volume on meteorites, also known as "the poor man's space probe." Although not as anecdotal as Harvey H. Nininger's Find a Falling Star (Eriksson, 1976), the present offering provides a complete overview of the science of meteoritics in a most readable style. Supplemented by numerous informative illustrations and tables, the book takes the reader on a fascinating voyage through a science that continues to reap a bountiful harvest of information. Particular emphasis is placed on the questions of the origin of meteorites and what they can tell us about the earliest history of the solar system. Thomas E. Margrave, formerly with Physics & Astronomy Dept., Univ. of Montana, Missoula

YA Dodd presents a technical discussion of meteorites, focusing primarily on physical differentiations among known meteorites and their parent bodies. Scientific terms, though challenging, are defined in the text. Photographs, charts, and diagrams further explain the subject matter. Dodd clearly indicates when he is dealing with theory and takes pains to suggest when his theories differ from mainstream thinking. The book is a well-written source of sophisticated information about meteors, and careful rereading will extend readers' understanding of meteoritics. For advanced high-school students.Alice Conlon, University of Houston
