Meteorites are natural objects that have fallen from space to the Earth’s surface. Once considered bad omens, they are now recognised as a unique window onto the processes that forged the formation of the solar system 4,570 million years ago. They reveal how impacts have shaped and modified planets, asteroids and moons; and they even contain evidence of astrophysical phenomena that occurred long before our solar system was born. In Meteorites, leading experts from the Natural History Museum, London provide a compelling and cutting edge introduction to the evolving science of meteoritics. They reveal what meteorites are, where they are most likely to be found, and the type of celestial bodies that they hail from. The book contains all the latest information on key meteorite falls and considers some of the big questions that still remain – such as whether our solar system is unusual in creating a planet that supports life, and if it is likely we will find complex life elsewhere. With a mix of photographs, diagrams and maps, Meteorites is essential reading for all those with an interest in the nature of our solar system.

In the past 50 years, our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Solar System has grown exponentially, in large part due to the availability of meteorites and the success of sample return missions. This book contains fourteen papers, each led by a team of expert scientists, which review our present understanding of Solar System formation and evolution through sample analysis.The chapters are structured around three main themes: (i) initial conditions and workings of the Solar System; (ii) planetary habitats; and (iii) sample curation. Through these themes, the volume presents the outstanding scientific questions to be addressed through future missions, identifies specific target bodies to be studied, and evaluates relevant sample curation facilities. In all, the book is intended to assist in formulating a viable strategy for planning future sample return missions.Previously published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection "Role of Sample Return in Addressing Major Questions in Planetary Sciences”

En ABBA-resa sammanställd av Sara Russell Denna bok är vad fansen över hela världen har väntat på i flera år! The ABBA Guide to Stockholm är den första guideboken i sitt slag, som tar med läsaren till ett urval av 60 platser i och omkring Stockholm, som har spelat en central roll i ABBAs karriär. ABBA var stolta över sin hemstad och använde stadens kulisser ofta som bakgrund på sina skivomslag, i sina musikvideor och på otaliga fotoshootings. Ta reda på var Frida och Benny förlovade sig, var scener ur filmen ABBA The Movie spelades in och var den berömda parkbankbilden togs. Följ med till studion där Agnetha, Frida, Benny och Björn producerade sina hitlåtar och var Benny för inte alltför länge sedan spelade in soundtracken till filmen Mamma Mia på nytt! Med denna praktiska reseguide besöker vi inte bara Stockholms stora turistattraktioner som Kungliga Palatset, Stadshuset, Gröna Lund, Globen och Skansen. Vi presenterar dessutom ett stort antal eventställen som Cirkus, Kungliga Operan och Hard Rock Café, plus många fler hot spots i Stockholm och kringliggande orter. Denna bok har sammanställts av ABBA-experten Sara Russell. The ABBA Guide to Stockholm är genomgående illustrerad i färg med hundratals bilder och innehåller en praktisk karta över Stockholm och omgivningen. Läs boken hemma i fåtöljen eller ta med den på din stadsvandring! Hur som helst, så önskar vi mycket nöje! Boken är skriven på tyska!
