Unlike the response to strong, planar shocks which is for the most part predictable and reproducible, explosives' response to multidimensional and weaker stimuli is much more complicated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present volume is the first compendium to assemble in a single text our present knowledge about the vast range of non-shock ignition mechanisms and responses, where initiation is not prompt, and involves a series of steps that may or may not lead to a steady detonation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 11 extensive chapters in this volume are: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Context and Complexity of Non-Shock Initiation (B.
