In order to develop a complete theory of Earth origin, an understanding of the physics and chemistry of the solar nebula is required. What we need is for all of the pieces of the puzzle to fit together. As of now, they don't. We hope this book will help set the stage for the next generation of investigation and for fitting some of the pieces of the puzzle together.
