This is the perfect book if you have ever wanted to amuse, amaze or simply astound your friends with mind boggling tricks involving coins, matchsticks and other everyday objects. A cleverly thought-out book that allows what may appear simple problems to solve suddenly become extremley frustrating. As with most of these things, the answer is simple when you know how, and seemingly impossible if you don't! Over fifty puzzles are fully illustrated with solutions in the back if needed.
Some people waste years, decades, even their entire lives waiting for that extraordinary lightning bolt that will change everything for them. But those whose lives really do change in dramatic ways can almost always trace the change back to something much simpler. One subtle, unsuspecting moment. One episode, one realization, one action. One seemingly insignificant step that put them on a completely different path... and ultimately led them to their dreams.
This book develops the best traditions of the Russian scientific popular literature. Written in a clear and captivating manner by working theoretical physicists, who are, at the same time, dedicated popularizers of scientific knowledge, it brings to the reader the latest achievements in quantum solid-state physics, but along the way it also shows how the laws of physics reveal themselves even in seemingly trivial episodes concerning the natural phenomena around us.
