Reddit reviews The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives

Hey you wanted an answer now you dont like it cuz "muh gun companies EVUL!"

Guess I'll go back to making improvised explosives and my own guns now. That help you feel safer since gun companies arent making profits?

• The first four books of the Foxfire book series are good for many interesting bits of old-time know-how that have disappeared.
  
• The books Where There Is No Doctor and Where There Is No Dentist are available as downloads from Hesperian. Personally I like printed versions and ordered them off of Amazon.
  
• The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives covers some very important ground if you're concerned about generational collapse and self-defense.
  
• It's always good to have a version of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae.
  
• If you want to learn basic electronics get your ham license. The study books are relatively good guides to the basics.
  
  I don't have any good book recommendations for mechanical skills. I have a number of specialized ones but nothing really generic that I would recommend.

>Edit: also it would be gross negligence if the UK government still had these bomb making manuals in publicly funded libraries!?

Why?

Here is how to make napalm: Buy gasoline. Melt Styrofoam in it.

Energetic Materials are a real science unto themselves. Most of them are "tried and True" and the chemistry is well know.

Start with Tenny Davis, and go from there.
