Meteor Crater

Neal F. Davis
ISBN
9781531699802
There have been numerous books and periodicals written about Meteor Crater, the meteorites, and the crater s scientific value, but this book, with supporting images, is more about people. The story covers some history of the crater s founding and the many people who have been, and presently are, associated with the custody and maintenance of the site, preserving it for future scientific study and generations of visitors. These people include geologists, astrophysicists, astronauts, generations of families named Barringer and Tremaine, and local ranchers named Chilson-Prosser. All have, and continue to, influence and shape what the site has become, each adding their signature to the famous landmark. Today, these families, supported by Meteor Crater Enterprises management and staff of dedicated people, continue the legacy of sharing the history and science with 250,000 annual visitors from around the globe while they continue to focus on preserving the scientific integrity of the crater for future generations."Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Neal F.
