About this title

Synopsis

Uncover the science and history behind explosives, from everyday military uses to surprising civilian applications. This edition surveys how chemistry shapes the explosive industry, the hazards and safety rules that guard workers, and the testing and manufacturing practices that keep production under control.

The book introduces common explosive compounds, compares their stability and power, and explains why certain materials are favored by governments. It also explores inventive devices and how they have evolved, including aerial bombs, grenades, and specialized blasting tools. A notable thread looks at the growing role of chemistry in developing safer, more reliable formulations.

How plants and orchards can benefit from controlled blasting to loosen soil and boost growth

Key methods for testing explosive strength and reliability, plus how factories are kept safe

Industrial scale production, measurement techniques, and the people designing and supervising the work

Ideal for readers curious about the science, history, and real‑world practice behind explosive technology and its careful management in industry.
