Physics. The Art of Understanding the World
19.99 €
Many people associate physics with an obscure school subject that has no relevance to life. However, in fact, it is one of the sciences that have made the world around us what it is: cars, rockets, space stations, the Internet, mobile communications and other benefits of technical civilization. Physics has allowed us to get answers to a wide variety of questions:
- What is "noise pollution"?
- Why do some sounds destroy our bodies and others heal them?
- Who ages faster: a person on Earth or an astronaut flying to another planet?
- Where does the ubiquitous radiation come from and how does it affect us?
- What are the dangers to astronauts on interplanetary travel?
- How can sound be seen?
- Why are small doses of radiation beneficial and large doses disastrous?
- How are cell phones and poor memory related?
- Why is the right lighting the key to good work and a good night's sleep?
This and much more you will find on the pages of this book.
Kazantseva Alla Borisovna is a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, associate professor at the Department of General and Experimental Physics of the Moscow State University of Physics, a finalist of the RAS 2019 and 2021 competition for the best works on popularization of science. This edition combines two of her famous works: ≪Physics in everyday life≫ and ≪Physics for everyone: from atom to space≫.
