Meteorites

Since the origin of mankind, meteorites have been considered mysterious heavenly messengers, foreboding epidemics, wars and bad harvests. The Greeks and Romans built temples for them and Native Americans kept meteorite fragments as lucky charms in medicine bags. Their greatest power however, lies in their ability to cause catastrophic change in the course of life on earth, as is suspected to have happened 65 million years ago when dinosaurs vanished. Meteorites explores these fascinating messengers from the heavens in a two volume set, including "Menace from the Sky" and "Witnesses from Beyond the Times".
