Seconding this recommendation, I read it a few years ago and it's a really fun read!

I acknowledge that the land on which I live and work is the ancestral and unceded land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. As an uninvited guest on these lands, I am a beneficiary of the ongoing displacement of the Ohlone people. I pay my respects to the Native peoples, past and present.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Some weekend reading
If you would like to read some hair-raising stories I suggest "Ignition!
- An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark.
All the things that can go wrong (or sometimes surprisingly right) when dealing with toxic, corrosive, high energy oxidizers and fuels, sometimes in the same molecule!
Here is a link to a pdf.
Enjoy!
