Not a bad idea to have a useful library here.
So, noting a recent mention of Murray Gell-Mann's book The Quark and the Jaguar, which is an unusual and interesting read, I'll start with this:
Strange Beauty: Murray Gell-Mann and the Revolution in 20th Century Physics (2000).
There is also a 2023 edition put out by SFI Press (Santa Fe Institute).

Do you know the "mountains" of Pomeroy? Sperrin is wild in places.
Re: Recommended Reading: Physics, Finance, and Philosophy
Distilleries should open at 1600 and close at 0400 the following morning. It makes sense and you'd clean up on drunk influenced purchases.but drop in at Bushmills (closes 16.00)?Where I live all days on the beach are possibly cold for most peoplePerfect for the first fall days on the beach or in the mountains before winter descends on us all!

Re: Recommended Reading: Physics, Finance, and Philosophy
So, to summarize: cold beaches, colder mountains, distilleries.
My rejoinder: Scotland has them all and a good number of these as well:
I've just picked The Royal and Ancient Sport up again for the first time in fifteen years.
Already planning regional adventures and international possibilities.
(and this is a beautiful book, BTW, came out in 2018).

I'll take good photography over anything. I don't play golf, I can't drink whisk(e)y anymore, well we'll see if I can get my blood sugar down. Scotland has the other part of the Causeway but we don't talk about that over hereSo, to summarize: cold beaches, colder mountains, distilleries.

There was a time when the Irish (Scoti) held swathes of land there and civilised the Picts. Dal Riada.
Let's take it back. Northumbria is also very nice.

Re: Recommended Reading: Physics, Finance, and Philosophy
Yes, I understand your points (both JB and Cuchulainn).
A few days ago, I happened across this in a used bookstore - pristine condition and useful for both mathematical physics and physical mathematics.
Ostensibly, it would help with the curvaceous coastal topologies of Ireland and Scotland, as well as the "lies" of a golf ball, whether on the green, in the rough, in the sand, or in the water! Naturally, the last lie is the worst.
Yet, I do not mean that golf balls are mendacious or given to LLM-style hallucinations. I mean quite literally how it lies on a patch of terrain.
Play it as it lays.
For the curious: This is the Royal Aberdeen Balgownie Course.

On that "vicus of recirculation" journey and golf courses, I think Royal Troon should get a mention.Yes, I understand your points (both JB and Cuchulainn).
