Chemistry of Pyrotechnics: Basic Principles and Theory, Second Edition
I think that the time has come to modernize the design and production of pyrotechnics and I actually plan to see whether these local companies are interested in learning the chemical principles behind their successful business. I certainly plan to useChemistry of Pyrotechnics: Basic Principles and Theoryfor any such class. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is fascinated by pyrotechnic displays. You will learn a great deal by reading it.—Peter M. Smith, inJournal of Chemical Education, April 2012This is a fascinating book that should be of interest to all those involved in the application of chemistry to the more artistically rewarding aspects of the subject.—Chromaographia, 2012
