Book Description
Fireworks are synonymous with celebration in the twenty-first century. But pyrotechnics—in the form of rockets, crackers, wheels, and bombs—have exploded in sparks and noise to delight audiences in Europe ever since the Renaissance. Here, Simon Werrett shows that, far from being only a means of entertainment, fireworks helped foster advances in natural philosophy, chemistry, mathematics, and many other branches of the sciences. Fireworks brings to vibrant life the many artful practices of pyrotechnicians, as well as the elegant compositions of the architects, poets, painters, and musicians they inspired. At the same time, it uncovers the dynamic relationships that developed between the many artists and scientists who produced pyrotechnics. In so doing, the book demonstrates the critical role that pyrotechnics played in the development of physics, astronomy, chemistry and physiology, meteorology, and electrical science. Richly illustrated and drawing on a wide range of new sources, Fireworks takes readers back to a world where pyrotechnics were both divine and magical and reveals for the first time their vital contribution to the modernization of European ideas.

Book Description
The Pyrotechnist's Treasury: A Guide to Making Fireworks and Pyrotechnics A Classic Guide to the Making of Fireworks and Pyrotechnics: Includes; Roman Candles: Rockets: Tourbillions: Crackers: Maroons: Lances: Shells: Montgolfier Balloons: Winged Rockets: Bursting Fire: Starting Fire: Wheel and Fixed Case: Squib and Serpent: Pinwheel: Saxon: 'The extensive use of these colours, from their beauty and variety, for stars and lancework, has very materially altered the class of fireworks, and necessitates the employment of an enormous quantity of quick-match. The preparation of this is one of the most disagreeable parts of Pyrotechny, besides demanding a great amount of manipulative skill. Most amateurs are deterred from attempting to manufacture it, and so have to content themselves with only the simplest pieces'. If you have an interest in pyrotechnics and their history then this publication is a gold mine of information, and is a must have for fireworks enthusiasts and historians.
