He provides a detailed account of the scientific processes involved in the discovery of the Chixulub crater and its relation to the end of the Cretaceous period. As a scientist in another field, I found it to be very informative for the lay reader (non-paleontologist/geologist, etc.).             The Far Side of the Moon: A Photographic Guide (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy) Charles J. Byrne Springer, 2007 The far side of the Moon, also called the "dark side of the Moon" was unknown to humanity until the Luna and Lunar Orbiter pictures were returned to Earth.

The Far Side of the Moon explains this ...             Glory Enough for All: The Battle of the Crater : A Novel of the Civil War5 reviews Duane Schultz St Martins Pr, 1994 The "Killer Angels" type novel of the Crater at Petersburg.

Sister Sister (Dorothy) Parrish was "gently" born, and she played this card like a violin all her life to great success. Expensively, but scantily educated Sister had an "eye" for proportion and taste that never failed her. Her decorating services became astronomically expensive, yet she had a Grande Dame persona that made her clients feel she was doing them a great favor by decorating their homes. ...             Road Guide to Crater Lake National Park, Third Edition, Updated1 review Robert Decker, Barbara Decker Double Decker Press, 2004 Really adds to a trip We have used four of the Deckers' national park road guides so far and found them all to be worthwhile--especially at their low price.

And, really, it was not that bad of an idea. Problem is, it didn't work, and caused around 5,000 needless casualties. Let us not forget, though, that it almost did work, and that it was a Confederate victory, as well as a monumental Union blunder. I saw this new release a couple of weeks ago, and had to have it...I work at the Army hospital at Ft. Lee, and, when not providing medical care for ...             Impact Project: Exploring the Sites Where Heaven Meets Earth Stan Gaz Princeton Architectural Press, 2009             Meteorite Craters1 review Kathleen Mark University of Arizona Press, 1995 A comprehensive account accessable to laymen This is a thorough account of meteorite craters intended mainly for the layman. However it does not shortchange the technical side when necessary. It uses the historical method, unrolling the story of meteorites and meteorite craters from about the 17th century to the present. It starts with the story of how scientists came to accept stones falling from the sky as a real phenomenon. It then ...             The Far Side of the Moon: A Photographic Guide (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy) Charles J.

I'm very glad I purchased it. This latest addition to the Bicycling America's National Parks series is informative, helpful, and truly captures the ambience of the different national parks it covers. It's not just national parks, but national recreation areas, and national monuments too, and you really ...             Crater County: A Legal Thriller of New Mexico3 reviews Jonathan Miller Cool Titles, 2004 Fast Paced Plot I stayed up all night to finish this book. I couldn't put it down! Author Jonathan Miller knows how to tell a great story and peppers it with unusual characters and places it in a very surreal small Southwestern town.

Gallant McGraw-Hill, 2002 Traveling in Russia and Fascinating Facts about Meteorites I am surprised to see that no one has reviewed this book until now; it's been out for about two years and the title is certainly intriguing. Anyway, this book contains a nearly homogeneous mixture of essentially two seemingly unrelated subjects: (i) traveling within Russia and (ii) information on meteorites. The first is presented as a travelogue; it includes all sorts of little details on travel ...             Mars Science Cards & Mars Map1 review Phlare, Inc., 2004 Mars cards and map mean science fun We have a 3rd grader and a 6th grader, both boys. Our youngest especially loved these cards, saying "Wow!" as he opened the package and plowed through the contents, reading each card.

Chariot Victor Publishing, 1997 A "must read" and perfect for your home library This book is a treasure - it seems to be one of a kind! It provides a coupling of American History and people of Christian faith. The very short stories about fifty people from 1000 through 1900A.D.(from Lief Ericson through Katherine Lee Bates), are factual, brief, and interesting with colorful illustrations.
