From the preface: ''This book is written as a text for a general course covering meteoritic evidence regarding the formation and early evolution of the solar system. It is less detailed and less technical than my 1974 book, Meteorites: Their Classification and Properties, and covers additional topics including the formation of the different kinds of meteorites and the compositional evidence linking meteorite groups with individual planets. Meteorites are the chief source of information about the earliest period of solar-system history.'' A partial list of contents follows: Meteorite recovery, fall phenomena, craters, and orbits. Composition and taxonomy. Ages, isotopes and interstellar grains. Iron meteorites: evidence for and against core origins. Igneous formed silicate-rich meteorites. Setting the scene: models of solar-system formation. More.
