[Debian-med-packaging] Take a golf tour of the Universe with Bob and Alec

[18 Holes.org]

A simple solution to the 'What will I get them for their birthday' problem.


Have you ever wondered why everything in the Universe fits together the way it
does? Or why we're the fortunate inheritors of a very rare planetary oasis that
has the amazing ability to create, evolve and support life forms such as ours?
Given that human life on the planet started only 200,000 years ago, how have we
been able to make such giant strides in our knowledge of the world around us
from the largest to the smallest scale? Knowledge that has enabled us to put
people on the Moon, look inside atoms, and has given us all the technological
goodies that today we take for granted.

'18 Holes of Quantum Golf is a story that shows the true value of friendship.
It's a book that encourages passion toward one's goals in life and I love how
the author used two senior citizens playing a round of golf to highlight the
importance of caring, friendship, love, marriage and, most importantly, to
explain how science has enabled us to gain a better understanding about the
world around us. Also, I loved the addition of humour in between the lines of
the story which adds to the point that the author is explaining. As a lover of
history and a science enthusiast, tho' not a golfer, this was a delightful read.
The book will be educational for people who want an easy introduction to the
growth of science and the many impacts it has had on our modern world.' -

This is the amazing story of how we've built up this knowledge starting 2,800
years ago with Thales in the Greek city state of Miletus right up to our current
understanding by way of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and many other
brilliant thinkers. It explains why scientists throughout the world are
co-operating in the Large Hadron Collider project to reveal the secrets of the
sub-atomic world and why, along with the new James Web Space Telescope's amazing
views of the Universe, this will hopefully enable science to explain mysteries
such as quantum gravity along with the dark matter and energy which fills 95% of
our universe.

Unlike most popular science books, this story unfolds during a round of golf by 
two senior citizens who've been best pals since their first day at primary
school and is told in their everyday chatty language with no technical jargon
for the reader to puzzle over. If you're looking for a simple explanation of the
world around us and want to find out why 90% of the scientists who have ever
lived are alive today, then this is the book for you.

18 Holes is available on Amazon as a paperback, hardcover or e-book at

The book may also be bought as a birthday or other, gift and sent direct to the

p.s. It's not all about science as there's other important matters to be
discussed and a unique golf match to be won!
