It has been considered by a few brave souls, since Sir Isaac Newton set forth his Laws of Gravitational Motion, but none have ever dared to publish such a complete paper with pictures, maps and illustrations pointing to the physical evidence. This book -- Gravitational Fission of the Grand Canyon and Mars, so claims. The Author. With a facsimile signature". It is indexed, and contains maps, both in colour and black-and-white, and photography and line drawings, in colour and black-and-white.

The Big Splash: A Scientific Discovery That Revolutionizes the Way We View the Origin of Life, the Water We Drink, the Death of the Dinosaurs, the Creation of the Oceans, the Nature of the Cost Was, and the Very Future of the Earth Itself
Frank, Louis A.; Huyghe, Patrick
ISBN: 1559720336
Carol Publishing Group Secaucus, New Jersey, U.S.A. 1990 First Edition 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Blue Cloth Aqua Boards 680 g; VIII, 262 pages, last seven pages blank, includes chapter notes, index, +8 pages of colour, and black-and-white photography and diagrams. Colour illustrated dust jacket. Previous owner's chop at the top right-hand corner of the front end page. Doggedness and attention to detail, have led the author to a discovery that has yet to reach acceptance with the majority of astrophysicists, and experts on the formation of the solar system. The author argues that on a daily basis the Earth is absorbing many tonnes of ice, delivered to this planet via meteors and comets which until now were not detectable. In fact it is only by accident, and because the author was looking "backwards" for another project, that the results were gathered. Science Very Good

"This is a critical time for the space program, and for all of us. Even the significant steps that we have taken since the dawn of the space age in 1957, including orbital flight, the moon landings, and orbiting space stations, will in retrospect seem to be tiny steps compared to what lies ahead. Migrating into space will challenge us beyond anything we have previously accomplished, and we are destined to face adventures that are both fantastically breathtaking and supremely dangerous."
