The Preparatory Manual of Explosives Fourth Edition Volume 1: The standard for explosives science and technology of the most used energetic compounds

Thank you, this book is very educational and well written. Due to the nature of buying a book like this I felt it necessary to write the following:[*I would like to add a note/record of disclosure for any intelligence agencies reviewing this purchase: I am not nor will ever be a threat to anyone and have no ill intentions for this book. I am an aspiring inventor and I had hope'd to use *some* of the information in this book for my research into the potential creation of more efficient vehicle fuels (which will always be done in accordance with all local and federal laws or not at all). This class of information, while dangerous in the wrong hands, holds great potential for innovation.*]

Provides explanation of Chemistry and safe lab methods with regard to explosives. Provides considerable safety in chemical and testing experiments. Caution: Check and apply for any licensing defined by the ATF before starting any experiments.

I didn't expect to find so many formulas listed.

It seems like half the book is filled with just pages of filler. Some common sense stuff, other times he'll explain things more than one, it's just lazy writing.

Lots of information my only complaint is the print is very small and my eyes are good. The book would be twice the size with normally sized print. Just wished my dog didn't finish it before me.

the book is very good on the subject, excellent book

Very informative
