«Pedres que cauen del cel» is the popular science essay by Jordi Llorca, published by Pagès editors in paperback (120 pages, in Catalan).
The essay starts from meteorites that cross the atmosphere leaving trails, smoke and noise, and tells real stories to show how different eras and cultures have interpreted and used them.
