Martin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von MARK BOSTICK Gesendet: Montag, 20. Februar 2006 16:32 An: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Betreff: [meteorite-list] Best ALH84001 Meteorite Book Hello List, I have not read that many of the dozen or more books on ALH84001. Having noted that, the better I have read is “The Hunt For Life on Mars”, where the writer uses a playful court like setting to defend and argue against the case for life in ALH84001. However, since I have not read many of them I feel my opinion is very limited and therefore I asked NASA scientist Everett Gibson, one of the many people involved with this meteorite that last 10 years, and perhaps the second most involved person with this meteorite, what he thought the best book on ALH84001 is, and if I could share his thoughts, which are presented below. “The best book on the ALH84001 meteorite was published February 14, 2006 and is officially released tomorrow, Feb. 21, 2006. The book is written by Kathy Sawyer, Senior Science writer for the Washington Post. Our team assisted Kathy with the book but withheld some of the more interesting information. The title, is THE ROCK FROM MARS: A Detective Story from Two Planets. (I believe that is the title. ) The book is published by Random House. It is over 400 pages long and I believe it sells for around $29.95. The book is available in most of the Barnes and Noble along with Borders book stores because of its recent release. The book is not the final story (that must wait until I write my book) but it comes very close to telling what went on during our research and the unbelievable things occurring behind the scenes at the White House and with the Journal SCIENCE. We were simply carried along and had zero control of the actions going on after we had the manuscript accepted by SCIENCE. Everett” On a background notes on who Everett Gibson is. It was from Gibson’s safe that the lunar rock was stolen from a few years ago (actually they took the whole safe) and he is the person that brought the Monohans meteorite to NASA after it fell. That is kind of brief, but both have been former list topics.

Re: [meteorite-list] Elementary school presentation tips?
Dear Gary, Anita, List; As a veteran of a dozen or more meteorite show and tell lectures, some with powerpoint (some with over a hundred people)I see a little twist that distresses me somewhat. Gettting directions, or ideas is a grand thing but...you will come across much more genuinely authentic, and with your own brand of enthuiasm if you use your own imagination to do a presentation Tell me how to do a meteorite show... huh? How about wit, humor, enthuiasm, and some specimens..maybe add a little strewnfield and flight pattern informationpass around meteorites and meteorwrongs. Maybe one of the list members could invent a 30 minute video of professional quality and sell it to those that need presentation help. Take a class in public speaking then take up meteorite lecturing. Here's a meteorite, buy Rocks From Space...short and concise lecture that took 8 seconds... I think I see an ebay add coming soon: How to conduct a meteorite education lecture10 hot tips! Dave Freeman Anita D. Westlake wrote: Hi Gary: Could you share the good advice you've already received?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Signs Project update
Dear Chris, List; I am not positive but I think Mark Bostwick may offer insite, the I-40 stretch across Kansas should have two meteorite locations on an exit if I remember right...there are many named towns across the state with meteorites associated with them. Mark, what say you? Dave (no chance in WY) Freeman (unless it's the Albin-Albin Chris Peterson wrote: The picture on Martin's submission page may be unique in showing a road sign with two meteorite names (Guffey and Cañon City). Does anyone know of any other cases where it might be possible to find a sign with two or more such locations? I can think of at least one other in this same area; I'll have to check it out. This particular sign is somewhat humorous. Even though it is an official sign placed by the state of Colorado, both town names are misspelled!

Re: [meteorite-list] Strewnfield artifacts
Dear Bill, List; I think that the artifacts are more since they were found by a famous meteorite hunter on a fantastic voyage to stardom. This phenomena is not unlike the gold rush a couple of years ago to collect specimens of Ninningers Crapper, and bricks from the Meteorite Museum. We are an odd lot of collectors...heck, baseball buffs collect balls. Some even collect pieces of the field. Best, Dave F. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Folks, I've discarded hundreds of rusty artifacts found in old dumps and the PF meteorite strewnfield. There's a 19th century dump located in the strewnfield. Is all the junk there significant? What defines these things as something other than junk? I have a graniteware blue swirled teapot that looks like it was hit by a meteorite.
