JVORTH JVHILE BOOKS 



METEORS By Charles P. Olivier, Ph.D. 



"This is a timely book," says the Journal of the Franklin 

 Institute; "it is the first general treatment of meteoric 

 astronomy since 1871 .... The story is completely 

 and succinctly told in an inviting and charming manner. 

 The arrangement permits one to read the non-technical part 

 of the book and omit, without a sense of incompleteness, the 

 well told chapters that contain the mathematical treatment 

 . , . . The author has perhaps contributed more to 

 meteoric astronomy than any other living American." 6 x 9. 

 Striking cover design. $6.00.
