Closest thing to a bible for music theory (western) is Schoenberg's Theory of Harmony since it is the best distillation of everything western theory is built off of but in a practical sense The Complete Musician is closer to a bible. Schoenberg is ultimately too theoretical but The Complete Musician is too practical. If I really had to pick a definitive bible it would be The Cambridge History of Western Music Theory but that is more a very verbose bibliography and too autistic to be a bible.

A History of Western Music by Grout should cover the history aspect well enough for most people. This may cover theory enough for your needs since it sounds like you don't desire to learn theory itself and want a general understanding of the ideas? If so you would probably want to dig into music appreciation which has a very wide range of works for the non-musician including many entries by big names but I have little knowledge of that area.

If you actually want to learn some theory than best way to go is pick an instrument and find a suitable teacher. Piano is generally the best instrument for theory since it gives a great deal of room to explore/experiment with harmony, guitar is decent and certainly makes key changes effortless but needlessly obfuscates some things and is generally limited to two voices, sometimes you can get three. Use what the teacher recommends as a text. The Complete Musician is the best self study text I have found so far but not great, just better than most. If you actually want to learn theory I would just get a teacher, you will get through things much faster.

I don't disagree, in the sense that it is comprehensive in it's coverage of techniques of the sport BJJ meta of it's time, but I think there is an argument to be made for Mastering Jujitsu.
It lists Renzo Gracie as the main author, but it's clearly actually John Danaher.
It gives you a very concise history of BJJ, alongside a full no-gi "game", including takedowns, leg locks. He even covers some self-defence stuff and striking.
I autistically acquired BJJ books as a white belt but I use more techniques from that book than any other. Even more impressive when you consider that it's about the size and length of a Goosebumps issue. Some of the techniques are still used by the New Wave guys in competition today .

Ugh, Munkres for topology... and with so many other choices? Part of the problem with even making a recommendation from among them is that so much of learning and coming to terms with how to use it is tied up in analysis and differential geometry.
Hence, if I were to name a canon reference for basic topology, I'd say Mendelson (short enough that I could skim and say it passes muster), but really what you should read is Tu's "An Introduction to Manifolds."
> I don't know a Differential Equations book that doesn't suck unfortunately.
...seriously? As another commenter mentioned, Arnold is great for ODEs - it should be tied to physics problem-solving. The best PDEs book, if I may strike out beyond what's typically recommended, is Brezis - it alone comprehensives introduces PDEs both as an applied problem-modeling tool in the physics sense and the appropriate site for functional analysis.
It's true that there's a distinct lack of a good textbook for ODEs as taught to American undergrads, but that speaks to deeper problems.

I'd say brush up on your ODEs, but if you've made it this far, you'll probably be fine.
Learn analysis up through basic measure theory. Functional analysis is a realm where Heine-Borel won't be able to save you anymore, because your vector spaces are no longer finite dimensional. Even proving the compactness of a rectangle in an arbitrary Hilbert space involves diagonalization!
Baby Rudin is an excellent start, as is Axler's axiomatic approach to linear algebra. Funny enough, both those authors have well-regarded books on measure theory, although (not having read Papa Rudin) I'd be inclined to recommend Axler. In principle, everything you need is in Ch4 (right before things really take off in Ch5), but it will hit you like a train.
You're right, Brezis does cover a lot else - that's why I feel it's worthy of the "Bible" label, because it's thorough in how it both introduces and fleshes out two fields so closely connected in practice. (if not so obviously in theory)

Now that I look back through, you might be better off covering Baby Rudin ch11 (especially if you've done everything up to ch8) - the main point is to familiarize yourself with measure-theoretic constructs before putting them to work. Axler might be a bit much work for what you need - you're learning enough measure theory for functional analysis, not taking a full course on it. For that matter, Brezis technically has "everything you need" if you're prepared, and Axler covers some of the same functional-analytic material. (he only introduces measure-theoretic probability at the end, opting instead for an exposition of basic functional analysis - that's actually why I like that book)
Good luck!

There are lots of people with two brain cells to rub together, who do something STEM related for their work, or once in a while simply for pleasure. Wanting a one-volume desk reference for your field is a very reasonable and common desire among such professionals and students (and the odd autistic hobbyist). Although such people will naturally have personal libraries, sometimes you want to refresh on that one thing from school or you just want to look up the formula/procedure and apply it. In such cases, a person has already learned the theory they need, they know it works and have at least a little understanding of why it works. So they don't need to go over that part again, they just want to look up tool X and apply it. That's one possible use of a "bible". Another is a comprehensive textbook instruction on a given subject, which just happens to be the best textbook in that area, which is what this thread is getting at.

The question is, pretty much by its nature, much more geared toward STEM in general, which builds up concrete, definite knowledge bases in the various disciplines. /lit/ related non-STEM fields are manifestly "squishier". I am not making a value judgment here, just observing that science and not-science have manifestly different literatures. This means that it's much harder (nigh-impossible) to come up with a comprehensive, one-volume "desk reference" for entire disciplines (philosopy, English (no, a dictionary does not count), history in general, etc). Unless you get much MORE specialized than STEM fields, the best you can do in these cases is an overview of "greatest hits", or else a very thorough glossary with maybe some review article type-commentary on any existing disputes. Even the Summa Theologica (a "bible" for catholic doctrine), although a single work, still required several physical volumes for its expression as far as its author was concerned. The humanities in general are much more WORDY and don't have the shorthand jargon built up they way STEM fields do. This is why History PhDs have such long page counts (commonly 500+), while math PhDs, say, are fairly short (Kaczynski's was something like 100 pages for example, maybe less).

>If you actually want to learn some theory than best way to go is pick an instrument and find a suitable teacher. Piano is generally the best instrument for theory since it gives a great deal of room to explore/experiment with harmony, guitar is decent and certainly makes key changes effortless but needlessly obfuscates some things and is generally limited to two voices, sometimes you can get three. Use what the teacher recommends as a text. The Complete Musician is the best self study text I have found so far but not great, just better than most. If you actually want to learn theory I would just get a teacher, you will get through things much faster.

To continue this since it really is a great book and probably the single most valuable resource for the mushrooms of the US and Canada. It relies on identification keys to narrow things down to likely species with the species descriptions including habitat, growth patterns, look alikes and related species, microscopic details of the spores and any other relevant details. ID by picture is nearly impossible (and generally a bad idea with mushrooms anyways) since the bulk of the pictures are b&w and only meant to highlight distinguishing features with the picture taken in a way that emphasizes that feature at cost of getting a good photo of the mushroom in question. The book is designed to force ID through knowledge and requires you to build the skills needed.

Teaches everything you need to know to reliably identify mushrooms and provides a fantastic reference to thousands of species.

Which is why most every engineering program/degree starts with math and most schools will not even let you test out of the math requirement. The entire field requires a good foundation in math and you will not make it through your first year of a degree without it.

VERY piss-poor comparison. The general understanding of which body parts are which and what they do in general (as opposed to medicine as-such) hasn't changed much over the interval in question. Our understanding of physics as such and medicine as such have of course changed significantly over the same interval. If it (Gray's Anatomy) were that backwards and off-base then they wouldn't keep reprinting it. Clearly it retains value as more than a document in the history of science. You also obfuscate the difference between physical reality and human understanding of it.

Anatomy (stamp collecting) did not an intervening game-changing period a la quantum physics/relativity. Physics did. That's the difference.

Does one read this straight through or just reference it? I bought a copy but without context to apply the ideas I forget them almost immediately.

I have to admit, Crito was the worst out of the tetralogy. Phaedo will always remain a masterpiece though.
