John D Clark’s seminal and widely regarded 1972 book chronicling the history of rocket fuel written in his signature tongue in cheek and comedic style, turning a very dry subject into something enjoyable for anyone
Reviews with the most likes.
Stories from an era where manners fit between the poles of coarseness and primness found in contemporary discourse. Many of the references and allusions may be lost to current readers. However, I found the book really informative and entertaining, and surprisingly accessible with a year of college chemistry.
