Sites of Impact (Hardcover) $37.42 The Earth is pockmarked with the evidence of ancient collisions: huge craters blasted into its surface by thousands of pounds of meteorite fragments traveling at approximately 50,000 miles per hour. Ranging in age from those formed in this century to billion-year-old specimens, the Earth`s meteorite craters are eroding at a rapid pace.

An essay by Earth scientist Christian Koeberl summarizes what we know and do not know about meteorite impact events, while an essay by photo historian Robert Silberman pl |
