About the author
Jean LaPaz is a little-known science writer associated with Space Nomads: Meteorites in Sky, Field, and Laboratory, a book first published in 1961 and credited to Lincoln LaPaz and Jean LaPaz. Reliable catalog and Project Gutenberg records confirm that this is the main work currently linked to the name.
Because biographical information about Jean LaPaz is scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to describe the author through that book. Space Nomads introduces readers to meteorites and the science of meteoritics in an accessible way, mixing scientific explanation with the excitement of real falls, field searches, and cosmic detective work.
Some modern book listings expand the name to Leota Jean LaPaz, but I could not verify enough high-quality biographical detail beyond that attribution to present a fuller life story with confidence.
