Description
A History of Fireworks from Their Origins to the Present Day
Condition: BRAND NEW ISBN: 9781789149357 Author(s): John Withington Format: Hardcover Year: 2024 Publisher: Reaktion Books Pages: 336
Description: This book illuminates the glittering history of fireworks, from their mysterious beginnings to the dazzling big-budget displays of today. It describes how they enthralled the world's royal courts and became a sensation across the British Empire. There are stories of innovations like 'living fireworks,' fiercely fought international competitions, and the technology behind modern showpieces viewed by millions. Practitioners say fireworks are an art, and they have inspired artists from Shakespeare, Handel, Dickens, and Whistler to Katy Perry. But John Withington also covers fireworks' practical uses rescues at sea, attempts to control the weather while not ignoring their dangers, accidents, or efforts to make them safer.
