Impact!: Threat of Comets and Asteroids Book

Scientists have not yet discovered a smoking gun in the unsolved mystery of dinosaur extinction, but they have one heck of a candidate in something called the Chicxulub Crater. Roughly 65 million years ago, a 10-kilometer-wide object slammed into the Yucatan. Thanks to erosion, the evidence of this cataclysmic event has remained invisible until now. Gerrit Verschuur thinks this ancient crash landing led to mass death, and he's worried about it happening again. His intriguing book provides a history of terrestrial impacts, tells of current efforts to identify near-earth objects, and reveals a new and growing area of scientific endeavor.Read More
