Physics at Every Step

The book by the famous writer and science popularizer Y.I. Perelman is nothing like a school textbook. Its goal is to encourage the reader to consciously observe the simplest physical phenomena, to learn to notice them in the surrounding environment, in everyday life, in nature, in technology, gradually accumulating the stock of facts that physical science systematically studies.

Information from the theory is provided only in the most elementary form and in a very modest volume, while the main attention is attracted to facts and experiments. The selection of experiments is such that they can be performed and lessons drawn from them without any devices. In addition, the author shares fascinating episodes from the history of physics.
