Miscellaneous
Popular
publications
Numerous
contributions to journals, radio and TV programs etc on popularisation of
physics.
Weekly column since
1978, with a recreational physics problem (Miniproblemet) in the journal Ny
teknik. Presently (spring 2007) almost 1300 contributions.
Weekly column, similar to
the one above, since 2006 in ATL – Lantbrukets annonstidning.
Books (those in
Swedish all are sold out and not available from the publishers):
- De bästa miniproblemen (Ingenjörsförlaget, 1981)
- Förklarade fenomen - fysik i natur och kultur (Ingenjörsförlaget, 1983)
- Sportens fysik (Natur och Kultur, 1987)
- Professor Grimvall ställer till problem (Ordfront, 1989)
- Varför är himlen blå? (ICA-förlaget, 1993) - also in Finnish and in German; Miksi taivas on sininen? (1995); Warum funkeln die Sterne? (1997)
- Kluriga problem för tekniska snillen (Brombergs 1998)
- Tekniska klurigheter för vetgiriga (Brombergs 1999).
- Brainteaser physics – challenging
physics puzzlers (Johns Hopkins, 2007)
En problembok liknande
dem jag givit ut på svenska, men med ännu starkare betoning på hur fysiker
tänker. Från förordet: ”The problems in
this book have two sides. One provides a challenge – just for fun or
recreation. The other is more serious – it shows how physicists think and
thus offers training that could also be of professional use. So, the level of
discussion in the solutions varies.”
From a review: (A Zimmerman
Jones). For what it's intended for, this book completely hits the mark. It
provides challenging physics puzzles and explains the solutions to them
clearly. While you need a passing knowledge of physics to reach the solutions, even
a single high school physics course is enough to at least have the basis for
many of them.
