'Meteorites and Their Parent Planets provides an engrossing
overview of a highly interdisciplinary field - the study of
extraterrestrial materials. The second edition of this
successful book has been thoroughly revised, and describes the
nature of meteorites, where they come from, and how they get to
Earth … Harry McSween's writing is accessible to scientists and
non-scientists alike … This book gives the reader a clear

of anyone interested in the origin and evolution of the Solar
System.' R. L. S. Taylor, Spaceflight 'Harry McSween's writing
