Meteor Showers: An Annotated Catalog (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series)

A very complete, well-written book on the subject, and I have not seen another book that covers all major and many minor showers so well. Only 4 stars because there is not ONE picture in the whole book. Certainly a book on meteor showers deserves at least a few photos.

This is an encyclopedic reference on the history of all the major meteor showers and many minor ones. The table of contents lists about 120 meteor showers. Although the reading is a little dry, having this information in book form is more convenient than reading the same material online. It's a reference work to enjoy on rainy evenings.
