Pyrotechnic Chemistry
Reviewed by Tony Cardell
Having spent more than 42 very enjoyable years working with energetic materials, particularly in the areas of military pyrotechnics and fireworks, I know the frustration faced by so many workers, both new and experienced, with the almost impossible task of finding useful reference books on these very specialized subjects. Also, as the total international experience in pyrotechnics and other energetic materials appears to be constantly reducing, it is essential for newcomers (and those not so new!) to be able to find good quality publications which give the widest picture in terms of in-depth technical content and practical examples. I believe that the book “Pyrotechnic Chemistry” published by the Journal of Pyrotechnics Inc. goes a long way to achieving this aim. The breadth of pyrotechnic related subjects covered by this publication is very wide as it is a compilation of papers (many previously published, but now updated), forming 19 chapters by 13 authors, who are well known and highly experienced in their respective fields.
