Excellent and recommended. Tim manages to make a rather dry subjecct very interresting and useful. Probably most useful in those debatting days to flatten a bit the debate and debunk claims.

Not a good book. The mystery is ok but it's badly written. There are many good books out there. This is not one of them. Don't waste your time. Or I am not in the target audience. Whatever.
As much as the first book was captivating, this one feels disappointing. It's like taking a book to describe the problem and then give the answer in a couple of lines. Must read if you have read the Bowl, but.... Or maybe it's just me :-)
Very interesting and reminiscent of the Rama saga by A.C. Clarke. The end of book one is just that, you need book 2 for answers (I hope !!!)

Mark Twain's view of the California gold rush.
This is very short story. I was fooled into thinking it was a complete book because the epub I downloaded is epub V3.0 and it contains an audio (read) version of the short story as well. Very nice all the same
