Recenzii
I've never had such an emotional reaction to reading about rocks, but the prose is beautiful, and the passion of the authors pours off every page
Performs a similar trick to Samantha Harvey's recent Booker-winning novel Orbital... The Meteorites conjures a small epiphany about our own place in the universe
An engrossing blend of the scientific and the human ... highly readable
Gordon's deep dive into these extraterrestrial visitations and the people who orbit them is lively and endlessly fascinating
The passion of the author pours off every page
Dazzling....Gordon's thinking about the subject develops its own kind of new fusion skin, putting forward a vision in which there is no barrier between our planet and our universe
A beautifully written and very human history of objects far older than human comprehension... By turns informative, funny and touching, this is a book not just about meteorites, but about art, history and humanity itself
Brimming with personal stories of witnessed meteorite impacts and expeditions to find the fallen revered. Gordon's curiosity about how meteorite enthusiasts gained their fascination shines through... Outer space enthusiasts will not be disappointed
[An] engaging account ... Meteorites offer clues on the formation of the solar system and the start of everything
Gripping, deft and riveting. Gordon moves with total mastery from the human to the cosmic and back again
A brilliantly engaging tour of meteorites, a book that reminds us that while they might come from outer space they are part and parcel of our planet
Helen Gordon's ruminations on finds and falls, scientists and amateurs, craters and even thesuperannuated satellites that, increasingly, descend from the sky, show how meteorites help us tounderstand our place in the universe. But the real strength of her book is the compelling case thatmeteorites illuminate something else entirely, the human spirit
Engaging
Praise for Notes from Deep Time: Astounding ... To call this a "history" does not do justice to Helen Gordon's ambition ... Sheer intellectual and poetical entertainment
Profoundly considered and far-reaching ... Notes from Deep Time reaches into a place that, in a post-religious era, offers a glimpse of something close to eternity
A marvel-rich masterclass of narrative non-fiction, one of those books that teaches its reader to see the world completely differently
Awe-inspiring
