Amazing accidents -- An explosive history -- Nitroglycerin -- The science of explosives -- Alfred Nobel -- Nobel's accidental discovery -- Boom, dynamite! -- Interesting and strange uses -- An uncertain future.
"Boom! Dynamite can blast away mountainsides and bring down buildings. This powerful explosive was discovered over 150 years ago, but it wasn't always safe to use. That's because dynamite contains nitroglycerin, a very dangerous explosive. In the late 1860s, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel accidentally invented dynamite while he was working on a way to make nitroglycerin safer to handle. This book takes an in-depth look at the science behind dynamite, as well as its role in the past, present, and future of demolition. Readers will be blown away by the story of this explosive discovery!"--
