A comprehensive account accessable to laymenI prefer the historical method of presenting scientific subjects as used in this book since knowing the history of how we got to where we are makes much more sense of the current state of our knowledge.
This book is so thorough that it can be a little dry at times. I was originally going to give it a 3 star rating instead of 4. However, when I picked up the book to do this review I noticed how well thumbed it was. This is because although the book is written as a historical narrative it is thorough enough to use as a reference work. When I ran across a reference to the Sudbury structure in the news I looked it up this book to get the background. When I needed an example of how science proceeds in the absence of direct experimental data and with mostly anecdotal evidence I looked up the story of how scientist came to accept meteorites as real phenomenon by the beginning of the 19th century. It has plenty of footnotes and references if you want more specific information. This book can serve as a historical narrative of, survey of, or reference for, meteorite craters.
Some nits: This book has a lot of illustrations but because of the nature of the subject it could use more. The author occasionally forgets her audience and uses technical geological terms without explanation. There is one complaint that there is no help for. Many questions are left hanging at the end of the book. This is inevitable since it is an account of a story that is still unfolding. Still, the book was copyrighted in 1987 so updating it would help some.
I would recommend this book to any adult having an interest in meteorite craters and I am including non-specialist geologists as well as scientifically inclined laymen.
I also think it would make a nice gift for an inquiring teenager or maybe a bright sixth grader. They will not understand everything that is in this book but there is a lot that they will understand. Just the kind of thing to stretch their minds.
