daily basis with little impact on human lives, there have been some major strikes. Rusch discusses several of the big hits
including one in Russia in 2013. She
offers a clear look into the activity in the asteroid belt between Mars and
Jupiter, what can knock an asteroid out of its orbit, and the possibilities of
a major Earth collision. She describes
the clues scientists use to discover long ago impacts and explains the
aftereffects of these collisions and the parts they have played in the history
of our Earth. She also examines the
processes scientists are developing that might prevent a major Earth-asteroid
collision in the future.

The book ends with a section on what students can do, chapter notes, bibliography of books, web sites for students and teachers, a glossary, and an index.
