Tales of the Universe - Greg Sviatoslavsky - Bog

Tales of the Universe introduces five physics principles commonly used in engineering. It's a story of a boy that befriends a retired physics professor who regales the boy with fantastic stories of alien life in different galaxies; with each story serving as an allegory for a different physics principle. Imagine a collection of parables where the lessons are about physics, rather than religion, and you'll begin to understand the book's concept.
