Physics in everyday life

Yakov Perelman’s book uses familiar physical phenomena as starting points for noticing and examining the laws at work around us. Its many short, entertaining accounts introduce serious physics concepts, inviting observation to become part of a more systematic study of the subject. The book is presented as a complement to textbooks, with emphasis on connecting physics to ordinary experience rather than replacing formal instruction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults curious about physics beyond the textbook.
  • Readers who enjoy learning science through everyday examples and brief accounts.

Book overview

"Physics at Every Step" does not seek to replace physics textbooks. Its purpose is to entice the reader to consciously observe physical phenomena, including the simplest ones which we have learned to ignore in our everyday life. It allows the reader to amass evidence about physical laws, and engage in a systematic study of physics. It includes hundreds of colorful stories from the field of physics. Despite their entertaining appearance, these ones address several important and serious notions in this field.
