BTW if you enjoy rocketry history or the Things I Won't Work With blog, I highly recommend the book /Ignition!/
It's an informal history of the development of rocketry propellants. Contains explosions and a whole lot of frightening chemistry.

And if you haven't heard of Things I Won't Work With, it's an (infrequently updated) blog by a research chemist on substances frightening enough that he doesn't want to be in the same lab as them. A common thread is compounds that would *really* prefer to be nitrogen gas and will energetically turn into such if given the slightest opportunity.
