Book Description
A perennial bestseller, Chemistry of Pyrotechnics and Explosives: Basic Principles and Theory, is simply the most definitive reference in this field. Author J.A. Conkling first covers the requisite background in chemistry, thermodynamics, and light emission, introduces oxidizing agents, fuels, binders, and retardants, then explores virtually every aspect of formulating pyrotechnics. Topics include the requirements for and preparation of high-energy mixtures, ignition and propagation, heat and delay compositions, and color and light production, including sparks, flitter, and glitter. The journal Pyrotechnica said this book "…belongs on every pyrotechnist's bookshelf."

A reasonable explanation of the chemisty behind pyrotechnics.......1995-08-18
This is a book that discusses chemistry, on perhaps a freshmancollegiate level (or slightly lower), with an emphasis on thechemistry that occurs in pyrotechnic devices. It is intersting in that it references chemical mixtures from both military and entertainment pyrotechnics. Somewhat overpriced. Does not cover construction of fireworks, nor are the example formulas extensive enough to make this a usefull refernce for the pyrotechnic hobbyist. However, it is educational, and will teach you what is going on, along with some of the why.

The definitive reference.......2007-02-17
This book continues to be an invaluable reference for those interested in fireworks and pyrotechnics at all levels. Anyone planning to construct their own pyrotechnic devices should before embarking on the simplest project include this book in their essential reading list. The book is crammed with diagrams, methods and sufficient theory to guide the reader to a perfect safe result every time.
Now more than ever the "Bible" of pyrotechnics..........1999-01-28
An updated version of a classic work. Builds from the foundation up, enlightening the reader with a well-rounded, solid presentation of the principles behind pyrotechnic compounds and devices, as well as delivering practical methodology for the professional. A must-have for the serious fire-artist.
The home pyrotechnician's bible !.......1998-02-20
An all-encompassing review of a multitude of pyrotechnic topics. This is an excellent reference manual and an exceptional formula bank, with hundreds of applications, both to the experimenter and the experienced pyrotechnist. Slightly overpriced, but not overvalued, this is a must-have text for anyone even considering beginning a collection of pyrotechnic literature.
Broad but shallow. Overpriced........1995-08-18
A very complete coverage of the principles and construction offireworks, but there is very little detail on any particulartype of device. Has good references to other works, and is a good compliment to works that delve deeper into fewer subjects.

Poorly done.......2001-11-10
This book has a glossary of terms at the beginning, most of which are ambiguous, some of which are just plain wrong. It seems as if the author tried to "dumb down" the terminology so anyone could understand it. However, in so doing, he's really alienated his target audience, i.e., people with at least some chemistry background. He has major problems with the definitions of explosions and detonation/deflagration. These are definitions that need to be clearly defined, and he screws a lot of it up. He consistently refers to black powder as "gunpowder", which may be a british thing, but it's still annoying and misleading. Some of the equations are helpful, but because of the incorrect information supplied in other parts of the book, I question their validity. This book gives a general overview, and it is decent with pictures and the explainations, but I'd never recommend it to someone who wanted to know the terminology used in the pyro industry, because it's mostly incorrect in this book. This book looks like it was put out in a rush. For example, on p.40, the book describes a "linear" equation, then gives an exponential one; it's just poor editing and writing to get things like that screwed up. An experienced pyrotechnician would know the difference between the screwed up definitions and things, but then, an experienced pyro wouldn't be reading this book. I found Weingart's 'Pyrotechnics' more useful than this. For some more of the physics-related items, this book would be better, but if you want to know some Chemistry, get Shimizu's 'Fireworks'.

Bonnie Kosanke can't very well pan her hubby's book, so I will! Seriously, the book has some good articles- But you could buy a copy of Alexander Hardt's Pyrotechnics for that ammount of money and have a better book if you're only buying one pyrotechnics book this year.
Pyrotechnic Chemistry.......2006-03-04
Review of: Pyrotechnic Chemistry by
John R. Steinberg, M. D. [Originally appeared in "Journal of Pyrotechnics", No. 21, Summer, 2005.
This is a collaborative work by many authors, resulting in many distinct writing styles between the various chapters; nevertheless the book provides a superb overview of the chemistry of pyrotechnics and various tangentially related topics. Given the stellar curricula vitae of the contributors, it is no surprise that this work is both technically excellent and extremely interesting to anyone with any degree of curiosity regarding pyrotechnic chemistry. While the preface discloses that this text is written at "an introductory to intermediate level" the more extensive one's background in the field, the greater the appreciation for the material will be. It is, indeed, as promised, accessible to both novices and appreciated by fairly advanced students of this subject. The book consists of nineteen chapters and is extensively, if not exhaustively referenced, providing a guide to further source material for those readers desirous of more advanced treatments of the various topics discussed in each chapter.
The first chapter, an Introduction, by David Dillehay, provides a brief history of both pyrotechnics and other energetic materials. It offers both background information and definitions.
The eminent Takeo Shimizu wrote the second chapter, which discusses the Chemical Components of fireworks. More than simply a list, Shimizu provides a practically focused "chemical handbook" of the compounds' chemical and physical properties, the history of their use and the applications for each, as well as a brief introduction to the types of chemical reactions in which these materials are used.
Barry Sturman, in Chapter Three, provides an Introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics. This chapter is, of necessity, more technical, though the author successfully avoids making the material so abstruse as to be useful to only the expert.
Ken and Bonnie Kosanke contribute the Fourth Chapter on Pyrotechnic Ignition and Propagation and Chapter Five on Control of Pyrotechnic Burn Rate. The fourth chapter is a very interesting treatment of a topic more often assumed to be understood than actually understood. The fifth chapter provides a very practical approach to pyrotechnic problem solving and explains why compositions behave in the manner that they do.
Ian von Maltitz contributes Chapter Six on Black Powder. No discussion of pyrotechnic chemistry could be considered complete without addressing, in detail, this most seminal pyrotechnic composition.
Chapter Seven, by the Kosankes, discusses Pyrotechnic Primes and Priming. Many an excellent star has been "blown blind" for failure to provide an adequate prime.
Mike Wilson and Ron Hancox contributed Chapter Eight on Pyrotechnic Delays and Thermal Sources. This technical material may be of less direct use to most pyrotechnists, but, the discussion of this topic is both well written and serves to expand the reader's knowledge of this subject.
The Chemistry of Colored Flames, Chapter Nine, is written by the Kosankes. This critically useful material begins with a brief discussion of the physics of visible light and proceeds to apply this basic material to a very detailed and cogent discussion of the basics of producing pyrotechnic colored flames. a most useful chapter and greatly enhances the value of this textbook.
Chapter Ten on Illuminants, by Dillehay, naturally follows. Again, this material is of less direct application for many pyrotechnists, but nevertheless provides a useful treatment of the subject of pyrotechnic flashes, flares, and illuminants, often used to good effect in displays.
Propellant Chemistry by Naminosuke Kubota is the subject of Chapter Eleven. Composite propellants and Black Powder propellants are discussed. Combustion kinetics and chemistry are then reviewed.
Kubota's Chapter Twelve, Principles of Solid Rocket Motor Design, is, in and of itself, practically a monograph on this subject. This chapter can be read at either of two levels: the reader conversant with physics will be provided sufficiently detailed technical information to apply the material provided to designs of independently conceived rocket motor systems, while the amateur will still be able to read the chapter to gain an understanding of exactly how rocket motors are designed and how they function.
Chapter Thirteen, by the Kosankes and by Clive Jennings-White, on Pyrotechnic Spark Generation provides an articulate discussion of a topic as important as colored flames.
Strobe Chemistry is the subject of Chapter Fifteen, also by Jennings-White. Again, this is an easy effect to compound and to produce and a rather difficult topic to understand in detail.
Whistle Devices provide the topic for discussion in Chapter Sixteen, by Mike Podlesak and Mike Wilson. Whistle combustion chemistry is reviewed in a manner at once extremely technical and fascinating to almost any reader.
From a safety perspective, there is, perhaps no more vital topic than that discussed by Dave Chapman in Chapter Seventeen: the Sensitiveness of Pyrotechnic Compositions. Tests for sensitivity and a discussion of the different nature of friction, impact, and temperature sensitivity are discussed.
Clive Jennings-White and Ken Kosanke review Hazardous Chemical Combinations in Chapter Eighteen. The authors provide a detailed discussion of dangerous chemical combinations, discussions of the hazards produced, and a basic chemical rationale for why these particular compositions are so hazardous.
Tom Smith's concluding Chapter Nineteen, on Assessing the Risks, provides a safety-oriented and practical approach to those contemplating working with pyrotechnic compositions and devices.
Overall, this is a most satisfactory endeavor. The Pyrotechnic Chemistry textbook offered by these authors through the Journal of Pyrotechnics is at once useful and fascinating. Its various topics differ in degree of complexity and will appeal to a wide range of readers. While no single textbook can completely cover this broad range of associated and collected topics, this reviewer feels that the Pyrotechnic Chemistry book is an excellent basic and reference text (thanks to its exhaustive bibliography) and is worthy of inclusion in any reader's pyrotechnic library. I enthusiastically recommend this book and offer my congratulations to its contributing authors and editors on a job well done.

Outstanding Chemistry Text.......2007-05-30
First, realize that this book is a fairly technical organic chemistry text about explosives. Under the heading of explosives also fall black powder and some pyrotechnic compositions, but the bulk of the text is about high explosives. This was one of the first texts I read on explosives, and it is one of the best. That being said, I am a synthetic organic chemist by training, so I have a very different perspective on the material.
As one reader mentioned, there is a lot of history in this book. Davis was the chair of the historical section of the ACS (American Chemical Society) for many years, and it shows here. Much is written about the discovery and the industrial processes used to manufacture explosives. Their uses throughout wars and some commercial aspects are also noted. The history of black powder and pyrotechnics are a very informative read.
This is not a formulations book (i.e., the Anarchists' Cookbook, etc.). While it does have some laboratory procedures in it, they are written at a technical level, and without some knowledge of chemistry, it may be difficult to reproduce them.
The material is a little dated, as many of the explosives discovered after 1943 are left out (HMX, CL-20, etc.), but the explosives field is a very mature one, and the material herein is still quite good.
The pyrotechnics are of the 1940s vintage, where mercury, lead and arsenic salts were still in common use, and some other safety considerations were not in place. This book isn't a great place to try and build a library of formulations from, but it is good for the historical aspect.
Overall, the book is very well written and an interesting read. I enjoyed reading it both for the quality of writing and the witty humor interjected by Davis at times. I would highly recommend it to any chemists in the energetic materials world, as well as those interested in the history or chemistry of explosives.
An exellent introduction to Powder & Explosives.......2006-08-25
I'm still reading the book. The truth is that its not what I was expecting, because the book was written about 194X during WW2, I had no idea until I recieved it! But its a very good introduction to the subject as it details the evolution throughout the years (of course, until 194X)
Not bad but..........2006-06-03
I didn't like it. First understand that this book was written in two parts in 1941 and 1943. That in of itself does not make it a bad book. After all as the author state "Principles of Chemistry do not change." Very true, but the knowledge of safety and better compositions do change.
Secondly, I estimate the book is approximately 30% history. And some of that is very ancient history indeed, giving compositions dating back to the 1500's. Of what use are these? It wouldn't be so bad if all the history was put in one chapter, but all this history is intertwined within the technical explanation so as to make studing very tiring.
I give it 3 stars because there is enough technical information in the book for the price. But digging it out will be quite a chore.
The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives.......2005-09-23
I am realy enjoying this book. It's a great history of powders and pyrotechnics, as well as informitive about the chemistry.I wouldn't recomend for anyone under 21.
Explosive information.......2005-01-19
This work written by Tenney L. Davis prooved to be a fantastic read. Davis uses his knowledge of explosives and chemistry to keep the reader interested as they learn about the many different types of explosives. If you are looking to extend your knowledge of explosives look no further Davis has everything you need to know and more. However if you are looking for an easy book to read for a project you will be dissapointed, Davis uses an extensive vocabulary and at times can be confusing. I would definately recommend this book to anyone interested in chemistry or in explosives. I am interested in both of these and this book was a great tool in providing useful information.

Plimpton Changes His Spots Again.......2002-07-04
George Plimpton is either the black cat or the leopard of the literary world. Or both. Like a black cat he has 9 lives -- or more. Unlike the leopard, he can change spots.
In his earlier books, Plimpton has written of his participation in a variety of sports from football "The Paper Lion" to baseball in "Out of my League" to professional golf in "The Bogey Man." He changes literary spots by publishing such diverse works as "Writers at Work" and "American Journey; the Times of Robert Kennedy."
In FIREWORKS he breaks new ground. He is the "unofficial official" Fireworks Commissioner of New York City and he takes his job VERY seriously.
He begins with a bang. His personal memories of childhood and adulthood firecracker expeditions, covering both successes and traumas. In the second section he relates the history of explosives and follows this with accounts of "fireworks families" in the United States.
The book bursts with glorious illustrations. I can't pick a favorite picture! It's an expensive book, but it's worth every penny.
I read this book because I enjoy Plimpton's vicarious lives. Fireworks didn't interest me a bit. They do now.

Figments of Darwinian Historical Imagination.......2001-05-20
This is a superb snapshot of the legend-creation process that has always braided with the legacy of Darwinism. Ideology has been described as a lack of information, and the absence of historical knowledge in depth of the development of Darwinism by the general public has left the field to sound bite summaries, the fodder of legend, myth, and outright falsehood. Both sides of the debate have shown their colours here, although the genesis of Social Darwinism has been the worst of the whole process. The book covers a range of topics from the hollywoodization of the Huxley-Wilberforce debate, to the strange tale of Darwin's death bed confession, from the Spanish Civil War to the questions of eugenics, and finally the fearful shadow of fascism at the end of the whole business. The author starts with a fact little grasped, that Darwinism began with many of the tactics in their early forms of the modern publicity machine. The clear objections of many critics, in the confusion of the fact of evolution versus the theory of the mechanism, counted little as the promotion of the Darwin camp ensured the success of Darwin's theory irregardless of its deeper scientific merits as it tagged along with the timely spread of evolutionary thinking in general.
An intriguing and ghostly study of modern social thought........1997-04-11
Although there is something to be said for a catcy title, Myths and Misuses of Darwinism soon vanishes from the reader's mind. As the book is unacceptably skant in both content and innovation, the reader is unable to conjure the meaning of the book. Thus, the reader is forced to delve deep into the phantom pages in order to ascertain the author's argument. At times, however, by way of some supernatural sense, the author is able to express his views to the reader often without actually demonstrating them in the text. Although this book is unable to make a lasting impression, it offers a rare oppurtunity for the reader particpate a he must envision what the author will conclude about Myths and Misuses in Darwinism

Correction to previous review by Brad Krone........1999-06-18
The previous review of THE DARWIN LEGEND written by Brad Krone of Reno praises Mark Noll for doing an excellent job writing this book. The problem is that Noll is not the author. James Moore is the author of this book and deserves the credit.
A MUST-READ for all who want to know the truth!.......1998-06-12
As a life-long Christian who has heard over and over the famous story of Darwin's deathbed confession of Christianity and denial of evolution, I was overjoyed to find a book on this very topic. Noll is unbelievably objective -- a true reporter doing his job. He never lets his own biases and opinions cloud his presentation of the facts. The insights contained in this book priceless. I have a better understanding of who Darwin was, why so many Christians love to tell the story of his deathbed conversion, and whether or not it is probable that such an event took place. Get this book and read for yourself. The amount of research which Noll has conducted is almost unfathomable. You will not be disappointed!
