Reviews

[Brian Bora · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a rare book from Yakov Perelman known for his 2 most famous books (Physics for Entertainment, volumes 1 and 2). This one does not deal with Physics. Instead it deals with space travel and astrophysics. The ideas expressed in the book such as designing a device to gain freedom from gravity, etc. are particularly interesting knowning the book was written in the first half of the last century.
