Description: Out of the Sky: An Introduction to Meteoritics, by H.H. Nininger, second edition 1959, softcover paperback/ old style trade paperback/ cardstock cover, very good condition. Book shows obvious age and wear, especially at the hinge of the cover, but the binding is still strong and all pages are in tact. Some discoloration in 1 spot on the back cover. Book should be handled carefully- "This new Dover edition first published in 1959 is an unabridged and unaltered republication of the first edition" From the back: "This book is a non technical yet comprehensive introduction to a very young science, "Meteoritics", the science concerned with all aspects of the arrival of cosmic matter on our planet from outer space and with the reactions and alterations of this matter in the terrestrial environment. It was written by one of the world's leading experts on meteorites, HH Nininger, director of the American meteorite museum and presents both the essential facts and the major theories of meteoritics in terms that can be easily understood by the general reader."
