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).
Strange Beauty 2023 SFI Press edition
Perfect for the first fall days on the beach or in the mountains before winter descends on us all!
