Colliding Worlds. How Cosmic Encounters Shaped Planets and Life, Hardback/Simone Marchi

Drawing on the latest research, Simone Marchi describes the vital role that collisions in space have played in the formation and evolution of the solar system and inner planets. Comparing the evidence from the surfaces of our planetary neighbours, he explains the impact of these strikes on the Earth and our Moon, and on the evolution of life.
