      abstract = {This engaging and accessible book explains the scientific  principles behind guns, both ancient and modern. It  connects their evolution to advances in science, as well as  tracing the developments of projectiles and propellants. It  is not limited to small arms but also looks at the science  of enormous guns such the Paris Gun, for example, and  reviews the efforts to build a gun to launch projectiles  into space. Extremely fast guns are also covered, such as  two-stage guns and rail guns. Further, the book provides  insight into the science of terminal ballistics and wound  ballistics as well as the challenging subject of gun  control. It is full of interesting facts for all who are  curious about the science and history of guns, as well as  those for whom the gun is an accessory of their  profession.},
