This book outlines the basic principles needed to understand the mechanism of explosions by chemical explosives. The history, theory and chemical types of explosives are introduced. Thermodynamics, enthalpy, free energy and gas equations are covered so that a basic understanding of the chemistry of explosives is underlined.This book is aimed primarily at "A"level students and new graduates who have not previously studied explosive materials, but it
should prove useful to others as well.
