Rezensionen

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This book presents a wide-ranging view of some of the latest research into impacts and some useful reviews. ... The book is richly illustrated throughout with pertinent photographs, maps, diagrams and graphs. ... All of the articles are clearly written, contain good overviews of the related research literature and extensive and useful bibliographies. They will be of great value to research workers and graduate students. ... It should attract a wide readership from among impact researchers worldwide ... ." (Chris Hayward, Geological Magazine, Vol. 143, 2006)
