John Clark's "Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants"

[Luke Weston]

In some circles, this book is a bit famous.

It's a beautiful comprehensive scientific, technical, historical review of pretty much every liquid rocket fuel, oxidiser and monopropellant that anybody has ever thought of, from the mainstream ones to the extremely exotic, dangerous or impractical things that nobody will every try again.

Unfortunately this is quite an old book, it's out of print, and it's almost impossible to find a copy of.

I did manage to find a scanned copy of the book online, however - and considering the above, I thought it would be appropriate to share it.

Well worth reading if you're interested in that sort of thing.
