Entertaining Mechanics

Why does a person sitting in a train feel as if the train is standing still while the platform is moving? If you hit an egg against another egg, which one will break first? What did Copernicus and Ptolemy argue... about? What is the principle of an aerodynamic tunnel?.. The theory of relativity and inertia, action and reaction, and much, much more from the field of applied and theoretical mechanics — this is what is told in a simple, engaging, and accessible manner, with the help of visual examples from life, in Yakov Perelman’s book Entertaining Mechanics.
