Meteors an Meteorites, The Nature of Meteorites, Classification of Meteorites, Meteoritic Clouds and Dust, Meteorite Craters, Tektites. -- Harvey Harlow Nininger (1887-1986) was an American meteoriticist and educator. Although he was self-taught, he revived interest in scientific study of meteorites in the 1930s and assembled the largest personal collection of meteorites up to that time. In 1942 Nininger founded the American Meteorite Museum, which was first located near Meteor Crater, Arizona (19421953), then in Sedona, Arizona (19531960). Part of the Nininger Collection was sold to the British Museum in 1958, and the remainder of the collection was sold to the Arizona State University Center for Meteorite Studies in 1960 which displays a selection of these meteorites in their public museum.[wikipedia] KK-KS11 ISBN: 9780910096034 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 200.

Karton. Condition: Sehr gut. xix, 148+ xx, 74 S., 23cm Zustand: gering berieben, sehr gut --- Inhalt: Publication No 16 + 19, englischer Text. Umfangreich illustriert. -- Harvey Harlow Nininger (1887-1986) was an American meteoriticist and educator. Nininger`s career as a self-taught and self-financed meteorite scientist and collector was unique. He lived to see meteoritics receive serious attention in the earth and space sciences, as he had urged for forty years. Nininger is considered by many today to be the father of modern meteoritics, having recovered a substantial portion of the meteorites available to scientists today as well as bringing to attention the fact that meteorites are present in great enough concentrations on Earth`s surface to actually warrant looking for. Before Nininger actively pursued his meteorite hunting endeavors, many scientists regarded it as a folly to spend one`s time doing so, believing meteorites to be so uncommon as to render searching for them a complete waste of time.[wikipedia] KK-PS22-5 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 400.
