NEW Fun Physics Journey
NEW Fun Physics Journey
Description
Book Introduction
The very book that science high school and gifted high school students bound and read!
Official contract publication of a bestseller that has sold over 1 million copies in Korea

The official Korean version of "Thinking Physics," which was published in the 1980s and has been loved for over 30 years, leading the Korean popular science book market, has been published.
When this book went out of print in the 2000s, it became a must-read for physics students, to the point that middle school students preparing for science high schools and gifted high schools, and high school students aspiring to pursue science and engineering, bound and distributed copies.
Author Louis Epstein, a physics professor, has collected problems that students often fall into, problems that require critical thinking and ingenious thinking.
Solving questions and answers can increase your understanding and interest in physics in general, including mechanics, fluids, heat, vibration, light, electricity and magnetism, relativity, and quantum mechanics.

Publisher's Review
The bible of physics textbooks, a must-read for students worldwide.
The official Korean edition of the science popularization bestseller has been published.
《NEW Fun Physics Journey》, which was published in Korea as a pirated version in the 1980s and was widely loved for a long time, has been officially published in Korea under a domestic contract.
It was recently revealed in the media that pirated books were sold without formal contracts even in the 2000s, even after Korea joined the Berne Convention, an international copyright agreement. [〈Popular science book 'Fun Physics Journey'... US author says, "Korean edition is pirated" and angry?〉 (《Munhwa Ilbo》 April 12, 2017), 〈'Pirated' books before joining copyright agreement, republished with formal contracts〉 (《Yonhap News》 April 13, 2017)] After the books went out of print in Korea, science teachers and students who could not obtain the books began to bind or photocopy them and circulate them.
It has become a word-of-mouth sensation, especially for students preparing for science high schools or gifted high schools, as a must-read book that is hard to find.

This time, the book published by Dream Publishing is an official Korean version that was published under a direct contract with the author, Louis Epstein.
The latest edition, the 3rd edition, has been translated and the text has been revised by more than 30% compared to the pirated version.
New problems and explanations have been added, and existing problems have been updated to keep pace with recent advances in physical theory.

Professor Kang Nam-hwa of the Department of Physics Education at Korea National University of Education and current teachers participated in the translation.
In fact, those who used this book in the past to nurture their dreams of becoming physics students and prepare for the Science Olympiad have now meticulously translated the content from the perspective of educators for their students and new readers.
In particular, all units used in the United States were changed to match the Korean curriculum, and translator's notes were added to easily confusing problems to help readers understand.


Understand the world of physics in one glance with witty illustrations!
Easily understand core physics concepts through questions and answers found in everyday life.
Physics underpins many of the technologies we enjoy, including electricity, cell phones, and the Internet.
People use refrigerators and fly on airplanes, but they don't know how they work.
The author laments the reality that people find physics, which is closely related to our lives, difficult and lack interest.
The author, a physics professor who teaches students, has selected problems that are easy to fall into thinking errors and problems that can be solved without complex mathematical knowledge.
Additionally, the author provided witty illustrations to make the content easier to understand.
This book, which was first published nearly 40 years ago, is still loved by readers around the world because it contains various physics questions discovered around us.
In school, you usually hear the answers first and then get the questions for the test, but this book gives you the questions first and then the answers.
“If you hang a magnet on the front of a steel car, will the car move forward?”, “If the motion of an object slows down one clock, will all other clocks have the same effect?”, “Vegas is a blue star, and Antares is a red star. Which is hotter?”, they cover a wide range of physics questions, from light bulbs to waves to the theory of relativity.
If you follow the author's answers, you will naturally be able to understand the core concepts of physics.
