"A rare masterpiece, updated" according to one bad cat. I'm unusually attached to this book: I laid my hands on the earlier edition as a very young child, and it probably shaped my interests more than anything else - ultimately setting me on a very interesting and rewarding life path. I've gotten the 1998 edition for my eldest son when he was perhaps four, and it's been his favorite for many years no. "High Level explanations." according to Paula R. Schoeff. I have all of his books, but this one seems to be very, very technical. Much more geared to middle or high school -- or adults who are already technically inclined. Seems like he lost the fun on the original book. I will continue to use the previous version for my students.
