The Flying Circus of Physics

By Jearl Walker

Categories: Science & Math

Physicist Jearl Walker collects hundreds of puzzles about the physics of everyday life. The questions cover topics such as why a cracked whip snaps, why coffee rings form, how sports and music work and what happens in the sky and the kitchen. Each puzzle is followed by a short explanation and references for further reading. First published in 1975, the book was expanded with answers in later editions.
