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."
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
3,000 sq ft 35,000 + books mostly out of print, rare, many foreign language. especially strong in NATIVE AMERICA, WESTERN AMERICANA,SCIENCE, TECHNICAL,ART. Been here 30+. No international orders please too many scammers (Australians) and constantly changing rules and people in Germany complaining and adding weird new hoops (Extended Producer Responsibility) to jump through. Every country wants it's own tax form and tax ID and and VAT Number and IOSS ID or countless other acronyms that change weeksly and it's not worth it for us sorry.
