Description

Physics for Entertainment by Yakov Perelman is a unique and entertaining introduction to physics, featuring conundrums, brain-teasers, and fascinating anecdotes. The author has drawn inspiration from the works of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Mark Twain, and other writers, using their descriptions of fantastical experiments as instructive illustrations for physics classes.

Topics covered in this book include how to jump from a moving car, and why we would never drown in the Dead Sea, according to the law of buoyancy. These ideas are still used by science teachers today, making Physics for Entertainment a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the natural world.
