From the reviews of the first edition:
"During the past half century meteor research has evolved into a comprehensive multidisciplinary science … . New findings are flowing from the ever-broadening range of investigative techniques that are being employed to great effect by the contributors to this book. This comprehensive overview of leading edge research by well over one hundred authors is an essential resource volume for scientists and engineers conducting studies and exploration of the solar system. It demands a place in the libraries supporting their activities." (Australian Physics, Vol. 43 (4), September/October, 2006)
