商品描述
In 1977, Wiley published the first edition of Jearl Walker's The Flying Circus of Physics, which has sold over 100,000 copies and become a cult classic in the physics community. The Flying Circus is a compendium of interesting real world phenomena that can be explained using basic laws of physics. This new edition represents a thorough updating and modernization of the book. The new edition gives us the opportunity to highlight Jearl's creativity, his communication skills, and his ability to make physics interesting.
Jearl Walker, Ph.D., professor of physics at Cleveland State University and the man who frequently walked on hot coals and lay on beds of nails all in the name of science, is the first recipient of the Outstanding Teaching Award from Cleveland State's College of Science. The College's Faculty Affairs Committee selected Dr. Walker as the first honoree based on his impressive contributions to science teaching over the last 30 years. In fact, the award in future years will be named the Jearl Walker Outstanding Teaching Award in recognition of his many achievements.
Jearl Walker received his B.S. in physics from MIT in 1967 and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Maryland in 1973. His popular book, The Flying Circus of Physics, has been translated into at least 10 languages and is still being sold worldwide. For 16 years he toured his fun-filled Flying Circus lecture throughout the U.S. and Canada, introducing countless teachers to such physics phenomena as molecular adhesion by hanging spoons from his face and Leidenfrost's phenomenon by dipping his wet hand in molten lead without getting hurt.
These lectures led to his national PBS television show, Kinetic Karnival, which ran for several years and won him a local Emmy Award. During his 13 years as a columnist with Scientific American magazine, Dr. Walker wrote 152 articles for "The Amateur Scientist" section, which were translated into at least 9 languages worldwide. His topics ranged from the physics of judo to the physics of bearnaise sauce and lemon meringue pie. In 1990, he took over the textbook Fundamentals of Physics from David Halliday and Robert Resnick and has now published the seventh edition of the book. He has appeared countless times on television and radio and in newspapers and magazines.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
快來！快來！大家都來！來見識一下這位能用牙齒拉動兩輛鐵路客車的男人，以及一位真實的人類炮彈。面對一條仍然會咬人的死響尾蛇。還有揭開魔術師無頭的秘密。歡迎來到這本更新版的《物理飛行馬戲團》，在這裡，驚險的特技、高空的雜技、奇特的好奇心和令人費解的幻覺，讓我們周圍世界中的物理現象栩栩如生。
1977年，Wiley出版了Jearl Walker的《物理飛行馬戲團》第一版，該書已售出超過100,000本，並成為物理界的經典之作。《物理飛行馬戲團》是一本有趣的現實現象彙編，這些現象可以用基本的物理法則來解釋。這一新版代表了對該書的全面更新和現代化。新版本讓我們有機會突顯Jearl的創造力、他的溝通技巧，以及他讓物理變得有趣的能力。
Jearl Walker，博士，克里夫蘭州立大學的物理學教授，這位為了科學經常走在熱煤上和躺在釘床上的人，是克里夫蘭州立大學科學學院首位獲得傑出教學獎的得主。該學院的教職員事務委員會根據他在過去30年對科學教學的卓越貢獻，選擇Walker博士作為首位榮譽獲得者。事實上，未來幾年的獎項將被命名為Jearl Walker傑出教學獎，以表彰他的諸多成就。
Jearl Walker於1967年在麻省理工學院獲得物理學學士學位，並於1973年在馬里蘭大學獲得物理學博士學位。他的暢銷書《物理飛行馬戲團》已被翻譯成至少10種語言，並在全球持續銷售。16年來，他在美國和加拿大巡迴演講，介紹了無數教師如用勺子懸掛在臉上來展示分子附著現象，以及用濕手浸入熔融鉛中而不受傷來展示萊登弗羅斯特現象等物理現象。
這些演講促成了他在全國PBS電視台的節目《動力嘉年華》，該節目播出數年並為他贏得了當地艾美獎。在他擔任《科學美國人》雜誌專欄作家的13年間，Walker博士為《業餘科學家》專欄撰寫了152篇文章，這些文章已被翻譯成至少9種語言。其主題涵蓋了從柔道的物理學到貝爾納醬和檸檬蛋白派的物理學。1990年，他接手了David Halliday和Robert Resnick的教科書《物理學基礎》，並已出版第七版。他在電視、廣播以及報紙和雜誌上出現過無數次。
作者簡介
His book The Flying Circus of Physics was published 30 years ago, has been translated into at least 10 languages, and is still being sold world wide. For 16 years he toured his Flying Circus talk throughout the U.S. and Canada, introducing such physics stunts as the bed-of-nails demonstration and the walking-on-hot-coals demonstration to countless physics teachers, who then proceeded to hurt themselves when they repeated the stunts in their own classrooms. These talks led to his PBS television show Kinetic Karnival which ran nationally for years and which earned an Emmy.
