Russian popular-science writer Yakov Perelman makes physics fun in his classic book, offering real-world applications, demonstrations, and fascinating phenomena that remain relevant-and educational-to modern readers. This book explains many of the most entertaining aspects of the physical world and its principles, including optical illusions, light tricks and mirages, watermelon force, gravity and flight, travel to the moon, brain teasers, heat, boomerangs, "perpetual motion machines," echoes, and feats of strength. Presented by Quid Pro Books as a "Digitally Remastered Book," (TM) this edition is unlike vintage republications that repeat printer errors or copying artifacts from the original. Instead, the process markedly reduces underlines, blotches, stray marks, and broken words. The effect retains and preserves the original presentation and its accuracy (unlike all-new renderings which introduce scan/OCR error), while offering a more complete and pleasant reading experience . . . to a new generation of students and curious readers.

For physics students and science buffs alike, this clever and easy-to-read elementary physics handbook, recently mentioned in a New Yorker article, was a bestseller in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. This book appeals to bright inquisitive minds and gives answers to basic questions about physics. The fundamentals of mechanics, force, work, friction, rotation, gravitation, and more are presented with timeless charm. Instructive and witty, the author singles out and presents ordinary facts and phenomena from a physics perspective, encouraging readers to think in physical categories. The anecdotes are enhanced by black and white illustrations. The English language edition was first published in the UK by Mir Publishers. Chapters include: Can One Walk Without Support? Why Do Knots Hold? You as Galileo Can an Invisible Man See? How to Dig Tunnels Why Fish Have Bladders And much more!

Published in 1913, a best-seller in the 1930s and long out of print, Physics for Entertainment was translated from Russian into many languages and influenced science students around the world. Among them was Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman, the Russian mathematician (unrelated to the author), who solved the Poincaré conjecture, and who was awarded and rejected the Fields Medal. Grigori's father, an electrical engineer, gave him Physics for Entertainment to encourage his son's interest in mathematics. In the foreword, the book's author describes the contents as "conundrums, brain-teasers, entertaining anecdotes, and unexpected comparisons," adding, "I have quoted extensively from Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain and other writers, because, besides providing entertainment, the fantastic experiments these writers describe may well serve as instructive illustrations at physics classes." The book's topics included how to jump from a moving car, and why, "according to the law of buoyancy, we would never drown in the Dead Sea." Ideas from this book are still used by science teachers today. Yakov Isidorovich Perelman died in the siege of Leningrad in 1942.

Unfortunately, the extent of our physics knowledge still does not allow us to see clearly the crucial importance of this science. A wide range of physics notions such as the theory of motion, strength, force, and mechanics in general are still vague for beginners. Those "who do not know movement, do not understand nature" Aristotle once said. Although several pages of the author's book "Physics for Entertainment" (2 volumes) are dedicated to mechanics' problems, it very useful that he devoted a separate, but similarly written, book to mechanics. "Mechanics for Entertainment" is not a textbook. Instead it is a freestyle book with some entertaining experiments and descriptions of some exciting natural phenomena. I have included a number of mechanics laws applications in engineering, sports, circus performances and many other unexpected areas.
