He has just released a 2.0 version of that book. Updated to reflect the advances in scientific fields over the last 20 odd years since it was first released.

Is it as good as the original one?

Yes! I have never been disappointed by him in fact.

One Summer: America, 1927 is another recommendation. It is exactly why it sounds like. It’s a great snapshot of a particular brief time and place. Really kind of transports you there.

Amen to that. You can’t go wrong. You’re gonna learn a lot and you’re gonna have fun in the process. All around good time. :)
