| Item Notes: Oversized. "Papers from a Conference on Large Body Impacts and Terrestrial Evolution: Geological, Climatological, and Biological Implications held at Snowbird, Utah, October 19-22, 1981. Sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and the Lunar and Planetary Institute." Includes bibliographies. From the Foreword: This volume is the harvest of a very productive multidisciplinary conference, "Large Body Impacts and Terrestrial Evolution; Geological, Climatological and Biological Implications" convened at Snowbird, Utah, October 19-22, 1981. More than 110 scientists contributed, listened to, and discussed 55 papers covering astronomy, planetary geology, cosmochemistry, geochemistry, impact and explosion physics, atmospheric physics, climatology, paleomagnetism, geophysics, vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology, paleobotony, micropaleontology, paleoecology, biostrati-graphy, marine geology, tectonics, and regional field studies in geology. Nearly 50 of the papers presented at the conference are developed in detail in this volume. They constitute, in the aggregate, one of the most comprehensive and balanced discussions of an exciting geologic concept that we have encountered. The inspiration for a possible conference grew out of the stimulation of the scientific community by the provocative paper by Alvarez, et al (Science, 1980, 208, p. 1095) on the significance of iridium geochemical anomalies at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. Lee Hunt of the National Academy of Science and his colleagues Joe M. Reynolds and George F. Carrier suggested that the NAS Assembly of Physical and Mathematical Sciences consider a conference. The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) of the Universities Space Research Association at Houston was approached as a co-sponsor. Roger Phillips, LPI director, invited Leon T. Silver, California Institute of Technology, to chair an organizing committee whose enthusiastic membership was responsible for the effective design and execution of the Snowbird conference, 528 pages.
