Springer New York has published Vladimir Rubtsov’s book The Tunguska Mystery (hardcover, 328 pp., 49illus, 11 in color; language: English; ISBN: 9780387765730). This is the first truly comprehensive and popular exposition of this century-long enigma written specially for Western readers. Most people think that the Tunguska event was explained long ago by scientists who study meteorites – that it was either a stony meteorite or the icy core of a comet. But these assumptions are not so tenable as their supporters would like to think. The Tunguska event remains an enigma in its second century of existence as perplexing as it has been throughout the past century. And what Russian scientists have discovered in recent decades is both astounding and reliable, and will cause some eyebrows to be raised.
The book’s language is simple, The Tunguska Mystery is meant not only for specialists, but first of all for any reader who is interested in the fascinating mysteries of the world we live in. Readers of this book will feel that the final solution of the enigma of Tunguska will be very unusual and far exceeding the bounds of conventional theories.
