Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants by John Drury Clark

4.0

Most of the chemistry is well above my head—no rocketry pun intended—because this literally is rocket science. But I was able to glean enough of the thought processes involved to enjoy the ride-along... especially when the author was recounting anecdotes about times someone did something that was inadvisable in retrospect.
