Description

The ultimate guide to all bangs -- big and small, natural and man-made -- from the controlled to the catastrophic, from the extraordinary to the extra-terrestrial. Filled with color images, from the contained explosion which brings down a tower block to the roar as the earth’s crust is ripped apart. Provides facts: how the ancient Chinese made gunpowder, the science behind the kettle drum, the secrets of plastic explosives and gamma ray bursts, and the explosions in deep space which baffle scientists. From the bang that began it all to the explosive qualities of custard powder, from the bang that wiped out the dinosaurs to the one that saw Superman earthbound, all of the biggest and most famous bangs are included in this entertaining guide.
