This monograph deals with the complex physical events accom panying the entry into our atmosphere of meteor bodies or meteoroids. These small objects (in the range of 10 -1 2 to 1012 grams), interacting with air molecules, produce a 'shooting star' or a meteor. Along the path of the meteor an ionized column of gases is formed, which reflects radio waves and is observable by radar. The meteoroid's atoms, which evaporate from its surface during intense heating, will radiate, and subsequent spectral observations of bright meteors provide very interesting informa tion about the chemical composition and physical condition found in the meteoroid's environment. The topics discussed here are of interest not only to those involved in meteor astronomy, but also have a bearing on the field of space sciences, where the problem of the re-entry of space craft is of crucial importance. This book is the first monograph on the subject published in the world scientific literature since 1958. It contains all recent results obtained in the area of meteor physics, including original studies by the author. Contents: Preface. Preface to the English Edition. Glossary.
