This book summarizes the mineralogical characteristics of all meteorite groups and Solar System bodies visited by spacecraft, and discusses the ways that these minerals were formed. Written in accessible language and containing spectacular images, it is a useful resource for meteorite researchers, terrestrial mineralogists and planetary geologists

Alan Rubin is a meteorite researcher who recently retired from the University of California, where he worked as a research geochemist. He is a fellow of the Meteoritical Society and winner of the Nininger Meteorite Award and seven Griffith Observer science writing awards. He is the namesake of the garnet mineral rubinite and the main-belt asteroid 6227Alanrubin. He has one other published book - Disturbing the Solar System (Princeton, 2004).
