"'Pieces of Another World' touched me deeply because ti reminds me of the first times I took each of my boys out to look at the stars (10-15 years ago). As in the story, these first times also involved meteor showers because, for me, it was the most dynamic way to introduce the night sky to them. It is a beautiful book to look at. As soon as I opened it up, I found myself thumbing through the pages enjoying the artwork. But the exciting thing I found when I started reading the book was that it was a nice story that accurately teahes the reader what a 'shooting star' really is. I also liked the material following the story, as it defined several key terms associated with meteors, as well as an illustrated comet's orbit."
-Gary Kronk, author of "Comets: A Descriptive Catalog" and "Meteors: A Descriptive Catalog"
