	Richard T. Barbour,
	Pyrotechnics in Industry
	McGraw Hill, N.Y. 1981
	ISBN 0-07-003653-5
	catalogue ref: TB270.B29

It is not a heavily mathematical, engineering kind of book, more
of a gee-whiz picture book really, but I recommend it as the best
book of its type I've come across.  I learned a lot about the range
of applications and the way charges are configured in practice, enough
so I think I'd know what questions to asked if I needed to use
pyrotechnics.
