Explosives Engineering
Paul W. Cooper
Review by: L. Weinman
This book is intended as a non-trivial text for those interested in the technology and science that lies behind explosive events and devices. While the book starts with introductions to some very basic chemical concepts, this reviewer is of the opinion that the book’s intended audience is not the rank amateur, but the working professional, who may not have a background in this area, but is technically competent in some engineering or scientific field. This is bolstered by a (proper) reliance on the use of mathematical descriptions of concepts and events. While the math involved is not overly advanced, it does require some college level courses to be fully comprehended.
