Title: Misleading Title
Product review: First of all Karl O. Brauer's book entitled "Handbook of Pyrotechnics" should not be titled this at all. It is not a handbook by any stretch of the imagination as handbooks are how to make and how to do books and this is neither. It has,at least,20 year old out dated,too general information on pyrotechnic devices mostly used in the Aerospace Industry in it's infancy. It wouldn't raise the eyebrow of an Aerospace Engineer of today nor of anyone else I suspect. It is much too general in it's coverage, but the technical data it does have falls into the catagory of useless information. It doesn't even have the basic formulas for black gunpowder or flash powder, two mainstays of the pyrotechnic world. If you are looking for a handbook on pyrotechnics, this is not it.
