A Great Scientific American Focus Book

This an excellent short textbook of what has happened to life on earth after small and grand extra-terrestrial collisions from comets and/or asteroids. Scientists now believe that cosmic collision shaped our solar system. The book starts off with the planet Jupiter being pounded by fragments of the Comet Shoemaker-Levy in the summer of 1994. This book also talks about the evolution of the universe, life on our planet, the origin of our moon, the fate of the dinosaurs, etc. Did the dinosaurs become extinct because of a huge cosmic collision 65 million years ago? Scientist seems to think so because of the evidence of the huge Chicxulub crater located at the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. A gem of a book explaining ancient earth history and life on planet Earth.

The folks at Scientific American produced a true gem with "Cosmic Collisions." Although clearly written for a younger group of readers, this book provides very imformative background information on cosmic impacts past, present and future.

The smooth, steady pace of the writing, as well as liberal use of photographs and illustrations, complement the depth of the text. For such a small book, it is indeed a wonderful primer for adults and youngsters who are interested in this timely topic.
