The Preparatory Manual of Explosives Fourth Edition is a massive upgrade from the third edition, and has been completely re-written. The material has been completely re-done, with more emphases on detailed preparatory methods, safety and hazard info, molecular information and data, structures and equations, and new chapters. The fourth edition includes numerous illustrations and data charts and tables, and includes improved procedures, processes, and information written with professional standards, but given a new improved bases so that the general student can read and understand the context far better then seen in the third edition. As well, the fourth edition includes valuable toxicity and physical properties data, and exhaustively describes each process in a new format and style not seen in the third edition. The fourth edition will become the standard for explosives science and technology. The book is a perfect reference for students, government agencies, government contractors, and enthusiasts.

This graduate text, and Cooper's companion introductory text ('Introduction to the Technology of Explosives'), serve the same markets as the successful explosives reference by Meyer, now in its 4th edition. VCH also published the International Journal of Propellants, Explosives, and Pyrotechnics. The resulting package would give VCH the major presence in the field. This text presents the basic technologies used in the engineering of explosives and explosive systems, i.e., chemistry, burning, detonation, shock waves, initiation theories, scaling. The book is written for upper-division undergraduate or graduate-level scientists and engineers, and assumes a good grasp of basic physics, chemistry, mechanics and mathematic through calculus. It is based on lecture notes used for graduate courses at the Dept. of Energy Laboratories, and could serve as a core text for a course at schools of mining or military engineering. The intent of the book is to provide the engineer or scientist in the field with an understanding of the phenomena involved and the engineering tools needed to solve/ design/ analyze a broad range of real problems.
The Preparatory Manual of Explosives: Radical, Extreme, Experimental Explosives Chemistry Vol.1 is a first of its kind theoretical and ideological laboratory manual discussing the preparation of 67 high explosives that are not in current use or are being investigated for future use. The book is an amazing collection of unique and fascinating explosives never before seen, and includes detailed preparation processes, physical properties, and molecular information. Each explosive is discussed in detail and includes each explosives potential use including detailed chemistry reaction equations, and detailed structure and apparatus. The Preparatory Manual of Explosives: Radical, Extreme, Experimental Explosives Chemistry Vol.1 will redefine the world of explosives, and usher in a new era of explosives chemistry for the 21st century and will accommodate for many new educational purposes, and commercial and military operations.
A guide on procedures, administration, and equipment, Bombs, IEDs, and Explosives: Identification, Investigation, and Disposal Techniques introduces concepts, basic knowledge, and necessary skill sets for bomb technicians. It covers topics such as training resources, bomb threat and incident response, legal aspects of bomb disposal, explosives and
The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".
Chemicals Used for Illegal Purposes helps hazmat professionals and others determine if chemicals at a suspicious site could be used to make illegal substances such as drugs, explosives, pyrotechnics, nerve agents, and other toxins. It profiles dangerous chemicals, covering their appearance, smell, incompatibilities, and identification tests. It features diagrams to assist responders in identifying illegal laboratories. This is a hands-on reference for crime scene responders, policemen, firemen, bomb squad members, drug enforcement officials, and others who need to be able to identify potentially hazardous materials and react quickly and appropriately.
