I know of two books, the other is the GDB internals.

I find "machine" is too vague and non-commital while "physical" strongly 
suggests suggests that it is tangable or concrete.  "user" vs "logical" 
is well, whatever (although "physical" and "logical" tend to go together 
giving a familar paring).
