Using everyday materials and simple experiments, the book presents physics in an accessible manner, challenging the notion that it is complex and disconnected from daily life. Robert Ehrlich offers a collection of demonstrations that illustrate fundamental physics principles, proving that understanding these concepts can be straightforward and engaging. This sequel emphasizes a hands-on approach, making learning about physics both enjoyable and practical.
Challenging widely accepted beliefs, a physicist explores nine controversial propositions that provoke thought on topics like health, energy, and crime. By examining ideas often dismissed as absurd, he highlights the fine line between innovative concepts and those deemed nonsensical. Through this analysis, the book invites readers to reconsider the nature of scientific inquiry and the evolution of ideas, revealing that some unconventional thoughts may hold more validity than initially perceived.
The Consortium for Upper Level Physics Software (CUPS) has developed a comprehensive series of Nine Book/Software packages that Wiley will publish in FY '95 and '96. CUPS is an international group of 27 physicists, all with extensive backgrounds in the research, teaching, and development of instructional software. The project is being supported by the National Science Foundation (PHY-9014548), and it has received other support from the IBM Corp., Apple Computer Corp., and George Mason University. The Simulations being developed are: Astrophysics, Classical Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Modern Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Solid State, Thermal and Statistical, and Waves and Optics.
