Summary: Thought Provoking & Ultimate Lab Supplement
Comment: This is a book of real-world physics questions and explainations. Billiards, air-conditioning, carnival games, and more are covered.
Our high school advanced physics course used this book for a "special" kind of weekly lab where groups of students were assigned a few questions and the group was to write up short answers/explainations to the questions posed by Jearl, applying the concepts we learned in class and stretching our thought process.
Most questions have solid physics explainations, some don't. As such, scores were given based on insight, communication, and application.
The point of this book is to provoke thought and grab students' interest, and Jearl is a master.
Rating: 5
Summary: Entertaining and enlightening
Comment: You can learn a lot of physics from this book. It can help you develop the kind of intuition that you will not get from conventional physics books. In addition, you can learn some off-beat physics that is not normally taught in classes.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is a great book!
Comment: It's fun, interesting, challenging and highly informative! I would probably rate it a 6 if I had more correct answers to the questions.:(
