    About this ebook

    This concise, easy-to-read book outlines the basic principles needed to understand the chemical mechanisms of explosion. Covering detonation, deflagration, initiation, the latest theories on the production of ""hotspots"", thermochemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics, the text includes detailed formulations and reactions presented with thermochemical calculations to aid understanding. The history, theory and chemical types of explosives are introduced, along with propellants, pyrotechnics and the most up-to-date information on energetic binders for explosive compositions. Covering all aspects of explosive chemistry from history to manufacturing techniques and formulation, The Chemistry of Explosives is a unique text which introduces difficult subjects in a readable manner. Ideal for A-level students and new graduates with no previous knowledge of explosive materials, it will also be useful to anyone needing succinct information on the subject.

      a bigger font to read it with. The content seems ok, but got sick and tired of trying to read it so gave up. Yes I am old, and wear glasses, but this is the only medium that I have found that won't allow me to enlarge the font. Book OK, Scribd rubbish.
      Will persevere with the book. If it intrigues me will buy it from somewhere else
