Aloha, *because of technical issues, some of you may have seen this more than once - I apologize for this inconvenience.
This is a book I cannot finish. Each page immerses you in the history and science of the Henbury craters and meteorite. Photographs, letters, hand drawn maps and other documents adorn the heavy satin finish pages printed in full color. My favorite is a flyer circa 1934 announcing a 401g specimen for $12.03. Sections on the metallurgy, atmospheric fragmentation that produced multiple and overlapping scatter ellipses, impact shrapnel and impactites are well written and comprehensive. Were the book only to contain those aforementioned content, one would be satiated, but the book goes on to cover other holocene impacts, with chapters on Kamil and Whitecourt craters containing full color maps and photographs. Even if youʻre allergic to books and are barely literate enough to read street signs, you will love this one for its photographs and graphics. As a hoarder of meteorite literature, this book will hold a favored spot in my library, and I highly recommend getting yourself a copy before it is but a regret. gary For a distributor in your region (and shameless plug): http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Images/HenburyDlrs.jpg On Aug 4, 2012, at 11:39 AM, Matthias Bärmann <[email protected]> wrote: > > Svend & Don, Alex, Bernd, Graham and finally: listoids - > > I can only agree with the arguments and impressions my previous speakers > already underlined. > > For me personally this Henbury monograph is highly attractive, not only > because the science facts are included on a high and actual level, but also > historical and ethnological aspects such as Aldermans sketches, old > photographs and correspondances, the presence of Henbury in the most > important museum collections and not at least the traces which can be found > in Aboriginal mythology and art. > > Not to forget a large number of great pics of a series of wonderful, at large > publically unknown and breathtakingly beautiful Henbury individuals. > > It already seems to be indicated that the 600 copies will be sold out soon. > So take your chance. > > Best as ever, > Matthias > > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Ensor" <[email protected]> > To: "Bernd V.
