by Taylor, J.

New York, 1959: Interscience Publishers, Inc., 153 pages, $4.75

This book deals with the use of chemicals as a source of energy, especially in connection with explosives and rocket propulsion. It is concerned primarily with reactions in the solid state. The aim of the book is to survey the wide range of chemical compositions which have been developed as sources of energy for various applications. The material is taken mainly from the author's work carried out at the Nobel Division Laboratories of the Imperial Chemical Industries over a 30-year period. The contents include propellants, rocket motors, gasless reactions, explosives, etc.
