Publisher's Synopsis

Meteorite tells the fascinating story of the stones from outer space scattered across our planet. From the impact that finished off the dinosaurs to the dagger made of extraterrestrial iron found in Tutankhamun's tomb, this book is packed full of surprising information, unlikely pioneers and eye-opening science. Dr Tim Gregory explains how these rocky fragments offer clues not just to the earliest origins of everything, but also to humanity's survival into the future.

'A passionate communicator, Tim Gregory conjures colourful environments and events far outside the human' NATURE

'Meticulous and eminently readable, served with clarity, erudition and humour' WALL STREET JOURNAL

'Tim Gregory gets it. He has an uncanny ability to swiftly understand, to clearly explain, and to be joyful' CHRIS HADFIELD
