Amazon has most of <br>them at prices as good as you're likely to find. The Rubin book is $21. <br>Also, I have been having really good luck buying used books in excellent <br>condition through the Amazon dealers at greatly reduced prices. <p>Here's the link to the Rubin book, Disturbing the Solar System: <p><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0691074747/ref=pd_sim_books_4/104-8731590-2980754">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0691074747/ref=pd_sim_books_4/104-8731590-2980754</A> <p>I don't think Rubin has a doctorate. It was never mentioned in his bio on <br>the cover. <p>You may be right about Wyoming being due for the next meteorite fall. <br>Sounds like a great opportunity for a betting pool. Are you giving odds? <p>Good luck, <p>Jerry Wallace <p>David Freeman wrote: <p>>Dear Jerry; <br>>Meteor would blow in like Wyoming wind..... <br>>I got a good laugh from Noo Yawk..... <br>>That corrilated history of earth poster I have shows some grouping <br>>throuh out history of "clusters" for lack of a better word, of impacts <br>>escpecially around and before the crestaceous, Does Dr. Rubin address <br>>much of that? <br>>Book is one that I should get, what did it cost? <br>>Best, <br>>Dave Freeman <br>>Wyoming is next new meteorite fall area, we only have 12 recorded <br>>meteorites and last was 1947, we are over due...</html> Received on Fri 14 Jun 2002 12:11:06 PM PDT |
