This book takes you behind the scenes to explore the chemistry and physics behind the art of pyrotechnics. Topics covered include:history and characteristics of gunpowder; principles be-hind each of the most popular firework types: rockets, shells, fountains, sparklers, bangers, ro-man candles and wheels; special effects, including sound effects; coloured smokes and elec-trical firing;firework safety for private use and displays; firework legislation.
The Chemistry of firework is aimed at students with A level qualifications or equivalent. The style is concise and easy to understand and the theory of fireworks is discussed in terms of well-known scientific concepts wherever possible- It will also be a useful source of reference for anyone studying pyrotechnics as applied to fireworks.

This book which was written in 1943 is mostly about explosives as it's name suggests. However there are sections on blackpowder and pyrotechnics, making up about 100 pages (out of 500). There are a great many useful formula and sections on the construction of most pyrotechnic devices. It is well written and illustrated and taking into consideration it's age, still a useful book.

Published by American Fireworks News, 1989. - 82 p. In 1974 I published a hypothetical chemistry of glitter. Few comments were received on that article. In the intervening nine years the research done has validated the hypothesis. The implications of the theory have been explored; practical applications of the theory are explored in this paper. Most of the literature of pyrotechnics contains statements to the effect that formulas are only a guide...
