Review Quotes:
"On the pages of this book the reader will find a complete picture of the chemistry, physics and technology of energetic materials, combustion and detonation processes, as well as their test methods and military and non-military applications. [...] The book is also an excellent source of knowledge for academic teachers, students and young researchers, because most of what is really important in the field of explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics can be easily found in one single volume presented in an informative and educational manner. [...] Overall, Dr. Koch has done an outstanding job compiling an extensive bibliography that leverages his own knowledge and experience on explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. The book will serve as a valuable addition to any explosive library, both in academia, industry and government." Prof. Dr. Stanislaw Cudzilo in: Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics 3/2021, 505
