with
sureness and insight. He also has a rich scientific background, which
includes training in the fields of radio operating, and electronic
engineering, followed by meteorological work with the United States
Weather Bureau. To this kaleidoscope of places and things, Mr. Jones has
added another facet, that of "a spare-time writer" and has managed to
produce eight books, something over one hundred magazine stories,
articles and novelettes. This is his third Winston book.

The author was born in Salt Lake City where he is presently living, and
attended the University of Utah. He is now working as a researcher with
a historical society which possesses the world's largest collection of
microfilm copies of ancient documents and records. These documents have
been gathered from all parts of Europe and the United States, and Mr.
Jones is enjoying this new environment.

Mr. Jones describes the theme of THE YEAR WHEN STARDUST FELL in this
way: "It is the portrayal of the unending conflict between ignorance and
superstition on one hand, and knowledge and cultural enlightenment on
the other as they come into conflict with each other during an
unprecedented disaster brought on by the forces of nature."

Coinciding with the surge of interest in all of science, this book will
give the reader a real appreciation of the role of the scientist.
