In this post I am highlighting some of the books in the popular science series published
by Mir. The time of publication is from late 60s to early 70s. The books are in varied
subjects and disciplines and the reason that I am posting them together is that their
covers are in the same design style. A black band at top of the cover, with the authors
name in white font. The title of the book is at the bottom with a colored band as the
foreground. The color of the lower band depended on the overall design of the cover and
the colors used there.

Mir also published a number of Problem Books in Physics and Mathematics. In this post
we will looking at problem books in Physics. The most famous of these in India is the
one by Irodov. Problems in General Physics is an indepensible book for those who are
trying to get through to touch exams. So popular is the book that many Solutions to the
book have been publised, which discuss the problems when they are solved.
The typical format the books have two sections:
1. Questions and problems
2. Solutions to Problems
Sometimes the solutions are discussed, as how to arrive at them and what is the
significance, but for simpler problems [simple according to the authors] only the
numerical values are given. Here is a list of the problem books that I know of [was
helped by a friend in compiling this list]
