    Good reference with excellent details.
  

*by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2022*

Has the basics and the chemistry behind it so the understanding could be absorbed better.

    LOVE THE CHEMISTRY IN FIREWORKS
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2012*

Anyone who loves fireworks, makes them or has tried to make them, will love this book. Written by a well respected authority at the University of Maryland who has taught a course in firework chemistry for years, this is a "must own". While it doesharp on some chemistry, it gives a clear picture of how and why fireworks WORK. It is easy to understand, makes fireworkscomprehensible and gives information about how fireworks can be safe when understood and used properly. If you lovefireworks and chemistry you will love this book.

    Poorly done
  

*by H***X on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2001*

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'.
