The Adventures Of Pencil And Screwbolt by Yuri Druzhkov

Our dear little friends,

In this book you will meet two very outstanding characters, Pencil who is an artist and a real magician, and Screwbolt, a little iron man, who is a very clever mechanic.
Both are very nice people and we hope you will like them and will want to learn from them.

If so, write to us and tell us how you understood this book and what it has taught you. We get very many letters from our young readers. The boy wrote, “Please tell me where I can learn to draw like
Pencil. I would then draw myself a bicycle, a toy gun and two toy. cars.”

And another boy wants to learn to draw for a very different reason: “I want to draw a magic school where all my chums could learn to be magicians. And I also want to draw a river by our house so that Granny does not have to go far with her washing. She’s old, you know.” Frankly, we like the second letter better. Why, do you think?

சார்பியல் தத்துவம் என்பது என்ன? – லெவ் லந்தாவு, யூரி ரூமர் (What Is The Theory Of Relativity in Tamil by Lev Landau, Yuri Rumer)

The book is an attempt to make the readers understand the basic concepts of theory of relativity, both special and general. It serves as an excellent introduction to the subject. each page is informative and I think you cannot have a more precise popular introduction to the difficult subject.

 

Translator : Ra. Krishnaiah

 

இந்த புத்தகம் சிறப்பு மற்றும் பொது சார்பியல் கோட்பாட்டின் அடிப்படை கருத்துகளை வாசகர்கள் புரிந்துகொள்ளச் செய்வதற்கான ஒரு முயற்சியாகும். இது இந்த பொருள் குறித்து சிறந்த அறிமுகமாகவும் விளங்குகிறது. ஒவ்வொரு பக்கமும் தகவல்களால் நிறைந்துள்ளது, மேலும் இந்த கடினமான பொருளுக்கு இதைவிடச் சரியான ஒரு அறிமுக நூலை நீங்கள் பெற முடியாது என்று நான் நினைக்கிறேன்.

On Education by Vasili Sukhomlinsky

Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky, distinguished Soviet educationist, scholar, and Hero of Socialist Labour, is widely known in the USSR and abroad. Director of a village school in the Ukraine from 1944 until his death on September 2, 1970, Sukhomlinsky devoted the whole of his active life to the noble cause of child education.

He left a considerable body of written works. The foreign reader is already familiar with his books I Give My Heart to Children and The Birth of a Citizen. V. Sukhomlinsky on Education is an unusual compilation, containing selected passages from many of his writings, including some of those hitherto unpublished. The foreword by S. Soloveichik, a journalist who has devoted many years to educational problems, gives a lively and interesting account of Sukhom­linsky and of the reflections, searchings, discoveries, aspirations and dreams of this remarkable man.
What is the best way of encouraging children to take an interest in knowledge, of teaching them to be happy in their work, and of awakening and de­veloping an understanding of beauty and the desire to become real human beings and citizens of their native country?

Teachers, parents and all concerned with the problems of education will find in this book the practical advice and interesting reflections of a talented educationist.

Collection Of Problems On The Dynamics Of A Point In A Central Force Field by Ye. N. Polyakhova

Sbornik zadach po dinamike tochkl v pole tsentral*nykh sll, [Collection of Problems on the Dynamics of a Point in a Central
Force Field], Ye. N. Polyakhova, Leningrad, Leningrad University Press, 197^, pp. 1-145.
The collection is a detailed selection of problems on the dynamics of the motion of a material point acted on by a central gravitational force of attraction, in particular, the dynamics of space flight. As an exception, the book presents several prob­ lems on the motion of a point acted on by central nongravitational forces.
The collection is intended mainly for correspondence students, however it can also be used as a text in the course on theoretical mechanics for students in day and evening departments. It may also prove useful to instructors providing practical exercises in the course on theoretical mechanics. 37 illustrations, 6 tables, 9 references.

ভৌতবস্তু (Motion ( Physics For Everyone Vol 1) In Bengali) by ল, লানদাউ (L. Landau); আ. কিতাইগারোদস্কি (A. Kitaigorodsky)

শারীরিক বস্তুর বিষয়বস্তু সবচেয়ে কম পরিবর্তনের মধ্য দিয়ে গেছে। এটি মূলত আগের সংস্করণের ‘Physics for Everyone’-এর প্রথমার্ধ। যেহেতু নতুন সংস্করণের প্রথম বইটি এমন ঘটনা নিয়ে আলোচনা করে যা পদার্থের গঠন সম্পর্কে জ্ঞান প্রয়োজন হয় না, তাই এটিকে ‘শারীরিক বস্তু’ বলা স্বাভাবিক ছিল। অবশ্য, আরেকটি সম্ভাবনা ছিল সাধারণভাবে ব্যবহৃত শিরোনাম ‘যান্ত্রিক বিদ্যা’ (অর্থাৎ গতির বিজ্ঞান) ব্যবহার করা। কিন্তু দ্বিতীয় বই ‘মলিকিউলস’-এ যা তাপের তত্ত্ব নিয়ে আলোচনা করে, তাতেও গতির অধ্যয়ন করা হয়, তবে সেখানে অদৃশ্য অণু এবং পরমাণু চলাচল করে। তাই আমি মনে করি ‘শারীরিক বস্তু’ শিরোনামটি একটি ভাল পছন্দ। ‘শারীরিক বস্তু’ মূলত গতির নিয়ম এবং মহাকর্ষীয় আকর্ষণের উপর ভিত্তি করে। এই নিয়মগুলি সর্বদা পদার্থবিজ্ঞানের এবং এই কারণে সমগ্র বিজ্ঞানের ভিত্তি হিসেবে থাকবে।

The subject matter of Physical Bodies has undergone the least change. It is largely the first half of the previous edition of Physics for Everyone. Since the first book of the new edition contains phenomena that do not require a knowledge of the structure of matter, it was natural to call it Physical Bodies. Of course, another possibility was to use, as is usually done, the title Mechanics (i.e. the science of motion). But the theory of heat, which is covered in the second book, Molecules, also studies motion except that what is moving is the invisible molecules and atoms. So I think the title Physical Bodies is a better choice. Physical Bodies deals largely with the laws of motion and gravitational attraction. These laws will always remain the foundation of physics and for this reason of science as whole.
