Chondrites are the largest group of meteorites. They can provide
unique insights into the origins and early evolution of our Solar
System, and even into the relationships between our Solar System
and other stars in the vicinity of our Sun. The largest structural
components of most chondrites are the glass-bearing chondrules, and
there are numerous theories for their origin. This clear and
systematic text summarizes the ideas surrounding the origin and
history of chondrules and chondrites, drawing on research from the
various scientific disciplines involved. With citations to a large
number of published papers on the topic, it forms a comprehensive
bibliography of the key research areas, and extensive illustrations
provide a clear visual representation of the scientific theories.
This text will be a valuable reference for graduate students and
researchers in planetary science, geology, and astronomy.
