My goal in writing this book was to provide an introduction to
meteorite science and a handbook on meteorite classification.
Insofar as I succeeded it should prove useful both to the
practicing professional and to university students at the
upper-division and graduate levels. I originally intended the book
to be nearly twice as long. The second half was to be a review of
properties relating to the origin of each group of meteorites.
Chapter XVIII is an example of how these later chapters would have
looked, although most would not have been as interpretative. These
chapters would have been useful chiefly to meteorite researchers
looking for a quick summary of group properties; they were not
written because of lack of time. Perhaps I will start to prepare
this "second volume" in a year or so when my family and I have
recovered from the preparation of the present volume. Although some
parts of the classification portion are mildly icono clastic, I
have attempted either to avoid the inclusion of speculative
interpretations or to flag them with a caveat to the reader. I have
relaxed these principles somewhat in Chapter XVIII to conserve
space, but even there the discussion of alternative speculations
should give the reader a feeling for the degree of uncertainty
attached."
