Physics and Stories: Spice up your lectures (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781547249220)

Can NASA measure the distance to the moon down to the centimeter? No matter how advanced their instruments, they can't, check out - "The Crazy Old Man". Myth busting and Hollywood physics can turn the most unappealing subject into fun. Two chapters are devoted to that. There's also a lot of everyday thermodynamics in - "Some Questions and Fallacies about the 'HOT' and the 'Cool'". What, non linear differential equations or maybe transcendental ones? No problem, see "The Spreadsheet", Such a Wonderful Tool! The book is packed with stuff like this.
