I'm still (slowly) working my way through this. I'm around half-way through, deep into the section on Nininger. The biographical and historical sections are much better than the weak begining with the TMI autobiographical material. It makes for a very good survey of the history of meteoritics when you look past the self-indulgent examinations of his Deep Feelings (I googled the author and he is a Poet (note the capital "P") which explains a great deal,) ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
