Review Read this book. You’ll find plenty about John and all the other sky-high crackpots who were in the field with him and you may even get (as I did) a glimpse of the heroic excitement that seemed to make it reasonable to cuddle with death every waking moment-to say nothing of learning a heck of a lot about the way in which the business of science is really conducted. -- Issac Asimov from the forewordThis insiders account of the early years of rocketry captures the excitement of researching and developing technologies that lie outside the realm of computer science. While were accustomed to think of technological progress in terms of Moores law, in a few short years these engineers went from launching metal tubes small enough to hold in your hand to propelling a two ton metal capsule containing three humans all the way to the moon. -- Inc. 9 Powerful Books Elon Musk RecommendsIgnition! is a hard-to-get-your-hands-on account of early rocket science...Clark was an American chemist active in the development of rocket fuels back in the 1960s and 1970s, and the book is both an account of the growth of the field and an explainer of how the science works. Business InsiderA good book on rocket stuff...thats a really fun one. -- Elon MuskIgnition! is a history of liquid rocket propellants, but its also a history of cold war and the space race, told from a particular point of view....That humor helps the accessibility, and as long as you remember some high school chemistry you shouldnt have a problem with the science either. Ars TechnicaIgnition!, originally written in 1972, is back in print after a long hiatus. A classic book, it tells a rollicking story of an era when space was the frontier. An informative history, it reads like an adventure story. Galveston County Daily News This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades. Book Description As widely reported in the media, (Inc., Forbes, Business Insider, KCRW and others) this is one of Elon Musks favorite book recommendations.It is the first and only book by John Drury Clark, a major figure in rocket science and in sci-fi literary circles.A readable page-turner, it the only book to discuss the experiments, procedures, risks, and personalities in the world of early rocket fuel development.It is a unique primary source text for academics who study science, the 1950s, or American culture more generally to learn about the ways scientists worked in the 1950s.It has been out of print for decades, and became incredibly rare, and in high demand. This reissue, completely re-set and redesigned, reintroduces the work to the world. Along with Writing in America, it is the debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint. About the Author JOHN DRURY CLARK (1907 - 1988) was an American rocket fuel developer, chemist, and science fiction writer. In addition to his work as a scientist, he was instrumental in the broad revival of interest in Robert E. Howard’s Conan stor
