Yakov Isidorovich Perelman (1882–1942) was a Russian and Soviet physicist and mathematician, the creator of a special genre in popular science literature – “entertaining science”. “Entertaining science,” wrote Yakov Perelman, “seeks to show a familiar thing, long-familiar phenomena that have lost interest in our eyes, from a new, unusual, and sometimes unexpected side. Novelty stimulates interest, and interest helps to focus attention and awakens the work of thought.” In the rich literary legacy of Yakov Perelman, it is customary to single out ten main books that formed the basis of “Entertaining Science”. The current edition includes five of them, which deal with physical laws and phenomena, the principles of mechanics, outer space and interplanetary travel. The inquisitive reader will get acquainted with many interesting experiments, curious stories, ingenious puzzles, funny problems and paradoxes, and will also learn about the projects of the first dreamers of science, thanks to which travel beyond the Earth became possible.
