Présentation de l'éditeur
Van Nostrand s Science Series having become exhausted, it became necessary, in order to keep the series complete, to issue a new edition. But in the fifteen years which have elapsed since the appearance of the first edition, many changes have taken place in the views regarding the phenomena of explosions, and many new explosives have attracted the worlds attention, particularly the important class of smokeless powders. Therefore, since the theory advanced by Berthelot no longer accounts for all the known phenomena, it was deemed best by the publishers to have the entire number rewritten. The present volume is the result of this decision.
