A very informative read

As an engineer I knew little about liquid rocket propellants. The book is well written and informative without being unduly scientific. Scientific, yes. Technical, somewhat. Informative, very. Educational and historical, very. Easy to read, yes. A great historical read. I bought a few more books to send to fellow engineers. BUT, you don't have to be an engineer to read the book. A friend who is a cook returned my book, commenting that he almost couldn't put the book down.

It is not the same Skunk works

I bought this book because I thought that it was seemed with books about skunkworksIn other words I imagined that the author would use a way less technical to tell your story.But the idea was to teach the chemistry used in your craft and this do the book very hard to read.Probably somebody that knows more chemistry that me can to appreciate more this title.

Details on liquid rocket engines

Very good book with lots of details on the post wwII development of liquid rockets! Many new things on chemistry. Nice layout but few pictures! A book for every rocket enthusiast!

Entusiasmado!

Tras mucho tiempo demorando la compra, estuve a punto de quedarme sin un ejemplar, durante al menos 3 o 7 meses! Tuve suerte, pues tras el susto, volvieron a estar disponibles 3 ejemplares, y decidí no perder la ocasión otra vez.Iva a tardar una semana, pero ha llegado en la mitad de días... en perfecto estado, sin dobleces ni bordes desgastados, calentito y oliendo a papel recién impreso!Hace tiempo que tenía ganas de tenerlo, pues allá donde se mencionara como referencia, todos coincidían en tratarse de un libro tanto con información avanzada difícil de recopilar por separado, sin ser exigente en tener que ser un experto en la materia para entenderlo, a la par que lleno de anécdotas descabelladas, y ser tremendamente divertido de leer!Si cumple todas mis expectativas, yo lo compararía con "El tío Tungsteno: recuerdos de un químico precoz" del genial Oliver Sacks!Hasta donde me consta, la única editorial disponible es la que fuera la propia universidad del autor, no se han hecho traducciones, y de hecho, hacía décadas que no se volvía a publicar... por lo que si leer en inglés no es un problema para ti, y aun si fuera un esfuerzo, no te pierdas ésta experiencia!
