Product Description
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and export managers whose primary concern is the world market for fireworks, signaling flares, rain rockets, fog signals and other pyrotechnic articles. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for fireworks, signaling flares, rain rockets, fog signals and other pyrotechnic articles for those firms serving the world via exports and foreign direct investment. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, this report begins by summarizing the world exporter's market for fireworks, signaling flares, rain rockets, fog signals and other pyrotechnic articles. The total level of exports on a worldwide basis is based on a model that aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market. These shares lead to a volume of import values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the shares that competitors (countries serving that market) are likely to receive this year. From these figures, world rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning purposes. ... Read more

Pyrotechnics: An Academic Approach
Herbert Ellern wrote this classic work in pyrotechnics for an academic audience. The coverage of fireworks per se is scanty. However, for those who want an introduction to the basic science behind a wide range of pyrotechnic processes, this book is so far without equal. Dr. Ellernprovides many formulations used in commercial and military pyrotechnics atthe time of writing the book. This work is a must have for any seriouscollection in pyrotechnics, but its focus does lie outside of the subjectarea of fireworks as most people understand fireworks. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Pyrotechnics," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Pyrotechnics in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Pyrotechnics when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Pyrotechnics, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Excellent book
This book has the best modern general treatment of the field of any in my possession or knowledge. I have numerous other authors works, such as Ellern, Shimizu, Lancaster, Tenney Davis & etc. This one is the first one I turn to. This book IS NOT intended as a "how to" manual for amateur fireworks makers, which is apparently the beef of another reviewer here. It is a broad treatment of the entire subject of both civil and military pyrotechnics, with an emphasis on materials and theory from which a lay person may take a broad understanding or a knowledgeable pyrotechnist may take working principals from which to begin experimentation.

A Hobbyist point of view.
From a Fireworks-Hobbyist point of view, I am very disappointed, having high expectations from this 2001 publication, expecting maybe something more up to date. There are several references of "Weingart (1947) and Shimizu (1980-96)" formulations with at best vague descriptions of "how-to", referring the reader to their books for a more complete and detailed version. Rather get Shimizu's book and have the complete version to begin with not some small incomplete abstract of it, and the same goes for almost all the other references. On the up-side, I see this book as the great book of little abstracts loaded with historical interests, teaching you the Japanese words for different firework devices...that is if that's your interest.

A Classic Work in Pyrotechnics
This book is doubtless destined to become a must-have for any serious library of pyrotechnic literature. The scope of the coverage is similar to Ellern's classic "Military and Civilian Pyrotechnics" but the content is much greater and more updated. There is a major section covering civilian fireworks, which covers material lamentably absent in Ellern. While the professional in military or commercial pyrotechnics will find this an invaluable reference, it will also be appreciated by practitioners of civilian fireworks as well. Kudos to Pyrotechnica Publications on a job well done. ... Read more

Un Buen libro para ingresar en este hoobie
Un libro que se debe tener si uno quiere convertirse en un hobista de cohetes. Muy bien explicado y muy documentado, excelente libro.

Right on time!
The product came right on time and in good condition as advertised. Its was satisfactory. Cheers!

Work of Art
Anyone who examines this book must conclude that its author is a perfectionist. The photography alone is worth the price of this manual even if the purchaser has zero interest in the subject. I think Ansel Adams would have been impressed! If David Sleeter ever does a manual on gardening, I'd buy one.

To the few critics of this work I suggest they are either jealous or have a hidden agenda. Perhaps they should dig out their crayons and write their own book?

very delailed
Old data , current chemicals an d type unavailabledated,but if your experianced or skilledI wouldread it

Good content. The format is too large.
A thorough and well written book about constructing rocket motors on an amateur level. A lot of work has been put in to produce this book. The format, however, is too large, and makes the book a bit clumpsy to use and to bring somewhere you'd want to construct rocket motors (it is a instruction book and should be in a managable size). ...
