This concise, easy-to-read book outlines the basic principles needed to understand the chemical mechanisms of explosions. Written for students with no previous knowledge of explosives but some understanding of chemical reactions in mind, it takes the reader through the history of explosives and introduces the concepts of high explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. This edition includes environmental legislation and its impact on explosives, together with a section on safety hazard tests. It also contains the latest developments in synthesis and manufacturing of explosives. Ideal for A-level students and new graduates, it will also be useful to anyone needing succinct information on the subject, such as the more experienced chemist in the explosives sector.
Avi Hofstein The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel | Vicente Talanquer University of Arizona, USA | David Treagust Curtin University, Australia Books in this series review developments in areas of chemistry education internationally or report on a single educational context where the work has clear international significance; cover formal education, informal education, teacher education/development or public understanding of chemistry; and cover innovations in chemical education practice where suitable evidence of research- based evaluation is included. Topics covered will include approaches to teaching chemistry and chemistry topics; the use of technology in chemistry teaching and learning; assessment of learning in chemistry education; chemistry in the curriculum; chemistry teacher preparation and development; initiatives to improve public understanding of chemistry; and developments in research methodology as applied in chemistry education. The series provides volumes of high quality and significance in the field of chemistry education research for researchers and postgraduates. Nanochemistry for Chemistry Educators Riam Abu Much The Academic Arab College for Education, Israel | Kurt Winkelmann Florida Institute of Technology, USA | Muhamad Hugerat The Academic Arab College for Education, Israel For the first time, this book sets out ways to teach the science of nanochemistry at a level suitable for pre-service and in-service teachers in middle and secondary school. The authors draw upon peer-reviewed science education literature for experiments, activities, educational research, and methods of teaching the subject. Teaching and Learning in the School Chemistry Laboratory Avi Hofstein The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel | Muhamad Hugerat The Academic Arab College for Education, Israel Authored by renowned experts in the field of chemistry education, this book provides a holistic approach to cover all issues related to learning and teaching in the chemistry laboratory. With sections focused on developing the skill sets of teachers, as well as approaches to supporting students in the laboratory, the book offers a comprehensive look at vicarious instruction methods, teacher and students' roles, and the blend with ICT, simulations, and other effective approaches to practical work. The book concludes with a focus on retrospective issues, followed-up with a look to the future of laboratory learning.
