Entertaining science stories by Yakov Perelman

In this book, we look into some entertaining stories from famous authors (Leo Tolstoy, Jules Verne, Jonathan Swift, etc.) and analyze them from a scientific point of view. Using simple mathematics and physics tools, we will be able to derive new entertaining questions and answers from these stories. In some occasions, we will be able to accept or refuse the foundations underlying them.
