Brainteaser Physics: Challenging Physics Puzzles

摘要

I found it hard to put down Goran Grimvall's new book. Was it because it boastedrnlavish full-colour photographs? No. The book abounds with helpful sketches, diagrams, tables, graphs and equations (no photographs) but they are all in black and white. Perhaps it was the compelling prose that captivated me. No. Although the book is very well-written, there are many more equations than anecdotes. It must have been the unique logic puzzles that caught my attention. Again, no. I had seen many of the puzzles before and most of them could not be solved by the application of logic alone; some knowledge of physics was required as well.
