Rocket sciencefrom fireworks to the photon drive /[electronic resource] :by Mark Denny, Alan McFadzean. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - ix, 302 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- Chapter 1: Why Rockets? -- Chapter 2: History -- Chapter 3: Theory -- Chapter 4: Poyekhali! To Space and Back -- Chapter 5: Rocket Propulsion and Guidance -- Chapter 6: A Degree of Control -- Chapter 7: Into the Future -- Conclusion -- Technical Appendix -- Bibliography -- Index.

This is a book about rocket science: what it is and what it does. From the earliest fireworks to nuclear-powered spacecraft, all you would ever want or need to know about the subject is here, along with a straightforward explanation of how, why and when things work-or sometimes don't. We begin with the history and workings of early terrestrial rocketry before moving onto the main subject of the book: how we get things into space and, on occasion, back again. Entirely math-free, the chapters weave together innumerable anecdotes, real-world examples, and easy walk-throughs to help readers break down the complex physics behind some of humankind's most amazing feats. Neither a pure textbook nor a populist space travel tome, the book will educate, inform and above all entertain anyone intrigued by rocket science.
