In his publication, the author clearly shows the way meteoroids are formed: primordial, planetoidal, cometary and those formed as a result of impacts on planets, moons and asteroids. The book contains a very detailed description of all types of meteorites and their formation processes. The information presented is based on the latest research, and the conclusions are well-founded, making it a valuable source of knowledge for every space enthusiast.

Meteorites are the only natural source of information about the composition of small cosmic bodies, which are the most primordial matter from which rocky planets were formed. Without the results of meteorite research, we would not be able to understand the initial stages of the evolution of the Solar System, as well as the mechanisms of planet formation. This publication presents in detail the classification, structure and genesis of meteorites, containing the results of research carried out in accordance with modern methods of electronic geochemistry, such as electron microprobe, electron microscopy and mass spectrometry.

This book is an excellent guide for space fans as well as seekers, collectors, enthusiasts and researchers of meteorites. It can also be useful material for students of faculties where knowledge about research, exploration and exploitation of space and its resources is taught. The publication of the PWN Scientific Publishing House, with 223 pages, in 235x168 mm format and paperback cover, is a comprehensive compendium of knowledge about meteorites.

Prof. Dr. habil. Stanisław Schillak from the Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences - Astrogeodynamic Observatory in Borówiec, emphasizes that this book is extremely clear and based on the latest research. Thanks to this publication, every space enthusiast can explore the secrets of meteorites and understand their role in the evolution of the Solar System. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of space.
