An Introduction to the Ballistics of Firearms: Edited by Paul F. Kisak

It is not fair to give this book a single star but print is so small book is unreadable. I got the print edition and with my 4X reading glasses and a magnifying glass the print is still to small to read and the calculations and formulas are just dirt spots on the page.

The book is very poorly written and laid out. For me personally, It made it nearly impossible to read simply because the book wasn't in a logical order to follow. The chapters are very short (sometimes just a few lines) and the information is so spread out I didn't learn anything. I'm sure the information is in there if you have the patience to go through it. It has also been written in the basic LaTex package with no additional formatting, it's basically laid out like a very long report. Disappointing.

purchased as a gift for my nephew who is in high school and planning on going into the service, he loved it!

NOT FOR LAYMan .DIAGRAMS HARD TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND.SOME GOOD HISTORY OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS.NEED TO BRUSH UP ON YOUR CALC .FOR SOME ARTICLES.I COULD DO WITHOUT THE SPACE ROCKET articles they are not firearms.

this is more like an outline of topics connected to ballistics rather than a text describing or explaining the physics behind ballistics. there is an odd collection of topics listed in bullet points but not developed, pictures of a professor delivering a lecture and incomplete lists of topics with no related explanations...i would not rely on this book for any meaningful description of ballistics.
