Why Toast Lands Jelly-Side Down by Robert Ehrlich
Physics has the reputation of being difficult to understand and remote from everyday life. This book presents a collection of physics demonstrations and experiments that prove that physics can, in fact, be 'made simple.' It uses 'low tech' and inexpensive materials from everyday life to make key principles of physics easy to understand.
"An outstanding new book of physics demonstrations"--Washington Post "If you find the task of illustrating and humanizing the fundamental principles of the physical world daunting, Ehrlich offers a series of [100] easy 'demos' that are virtually foolproof and well described."--Science News
Robert Ehrlich is Professor of Physics at George Mason University. He has authored or edited sixteen books, including The Cosmological Milkshake, What If You Could Unscramble an Egg? and Turning the World Inside Out and 174 Other Simple Physics Demonstrations (Princeton).
