Yakov Perelman – Physics at Every Step. A gift book in a leather binding.

“Physics at Every Step” is an excellent popular science guide designed to teach the reader to see the fundamental laws of nature in the most ordinary things. Unlike the famous “Entertaining Physics,” this work is aimed at those who are just beginning to explore the subject or have never studied it before. The book does not try to replace a school textbook; instead, it seeks to awaken in a person a keen sense of observation and a spirit of inquiry.
Under one cover, the author has gathered more than a hundred vivid stories about the world of sound and light, heat and cold, gravity and atmospheric pressure. Perelman provides a detailed analysis of the physical phenomena we constantly encounter on the street, in everyday life, in wildlife, and in technology. An important part of the collection is the instructive home experiments, which do not require complex equipment or expensive laboratories. All thought experiments, paradoxes, and tricky questions are accompanied by clear, witty, and very simple authorial analyses. The distinctive, surprisingly light style of presentation helps to build a solid foundation of scientific facts completely unnoticed by the reader. This book is ideal for family reading, captivating middle school students and helping adults take a fresh look at the familiar world around them.
