Kirk's
Fire Investigation by John D.
Dehaan. This, along with the NFPA 921, is the most widely used source for
fire investigation techniques. Helpful
in understanding the jargon and in
testing the investigator's theories.
Every fire investigator owns and uses
this book. Every lawyer who faces a
fire expert in court needs it.

Cheap insomnia cure.
Kennedy
on Explosions. An old classic,
which certainly deserves a spot in the
library. This has been the number one explosion book for years.
Engineering

at Amazon. I haven't read it, so no
comment here.
