Scientific And Public Literature For Children
Cosmos. Dmitri Kostukov, Zina Surov. Mann, Ivanov and Ferber, 2016
The title of the book makes it clear what it is. It's about space and everything that's related to it. The first entrance to outer space, space gerbars, Moon development, missile assembly and installation, ISS diagram, step separation and orbit, alien and space future. Constantine Tsiolkovsky, Sergei Kings, Yuri Gagarin and Herman Titov, as well as modern cosmonauts, designers, scientists. Based on the book, the author's interviews with cosmonauts. "Cosmos" is written as a collar: many photographs, boxes, appendices, drawings and explanations. Photographs from Dmitri Kostukova's archives and a Russian cosmonaut pilot, Oleg Kotov. The book won a lot of awards. Looking at the page, space doesn't seem to be far and mysterious, the authors seem to make it more accessible to children. Careful, a desire to become a cosmonaut may not only come from children, but also from adults.
"Physics at every step." Jacques Perlman. Rosman, 2016
It's as good as modern publishers releasing old books. And "Fizica at every step" is just the case. History of physics, exemplary examples of life, interesting experiences, bright and funny illustrations, all of which are gathered under the hard cover of Yakov Ishidorovic Perlman (1882-1942), a pupil of physics, mathematics and astronomy, and one of the basics of scientific and pupullar literature. His book "Prient Physics" was of great interest in 1913, and then there was a "Stepty Arithmetics," "Creat Gemetry," "Creat Algebra," "Take Astronomy," and "Take Mechanics." The book "Fizica at every step" went back to 1934, but everything the author says is relevant and interesting today. The tasks that the author offers on the pages of the book are animated by his determination and responses not only to children but also to adults. Like, "What's the weight of a wire connecting Moscow to Petersburg?" or "Well, no guns, move a 100 pound long grey and 15 feet high." And if there's time to experience with needle on the water, then it's lucky.
