Описание: 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 Poincar 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.

Описание:

"Mechanics for fun" is not a textbook. Instead it is a complementary book with some entertaining experiments and descriptions of some exciting natural phenomena. Its aim is to excite the reader interest in mechanics and have him engage in its study. The author has included a number of mechanics' applications in engineering, sports, circus performances and many other unexpected areas.

Описание: Are we ever destined to travel to other planets? Or are we forever doomed to remain prisoners of Earth? The idea of interstellar travel, flying from one planet to another, is, of course, for the time being, no more than a tempting dream. But why not admit that, over time, the dream of space travel will one day become a reality...

Описание:

In this book, we look into some entertaining stories from famous authors (Leo Tolstoy, Jules Verne, Jonathan Swift, etc.) and analyze them from a scientific point of view. Using simple mathematics and physics tools, we will be able to derive new entertaining questions and answers from these stories. In some occasions, we will be able to accept or refuse the foundations underlying them.

Описание:

Most economic theory assumes a pure capitalism of perfect competition. This book is a penetrating critique of the rhetoric and practice of conventional economic theory. It explores how even in the United States--the most capitalist of countries--the market has always been subject to numerous constraints.
Perelman examines the way in which these constraints have been defended by such figures as Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, and Herbert Hoover, and were indeed essential to the expansion of U.S. capitalism. In the process, he rediscovers the critical element in conservative thought--the "forgotten traditions of railroad economics"--that has been lost in the neoliberal present. This important and original historical reconstruction points the way to a discipline of economics freed from the mythology of the market.
