Description: About the Book Comets and Meteors: Their Phenomena in All Ages is a book written by Daniel Kirkwood that explores the phenomena of meteors, comets, and other astronomical bodies. The book begins with a 19th century preface explaining the relevance of comets and meteors to civilized nations, followed by a historical survey from ancient times to the mid-1800s. Following this is an account of current ideas regarding meteorites and comets. Finally, Kirkwood presents a prediction for the future of meteors, based on his own conclusions about certain aspects of solar behavior such as rotation periods and eclipses.. Although Comets and Meteors is long out of print it remains one of several popular works from the 19th century that were published while scientists were beginning to understand how astronomical bodies behaved both in space, as well as when they interacted with Earth.About us Trieste Publishing’s aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time.
