This is a broad overview of Scotland and it's contribution to civilization over the course of the last 400 years. This time I was able to really focus and listen and I picked up so much I missed the first time and also was able to process some of the concepts more thoroughly. So I didn't have to stop reading and go do independent research on a specific topic or person, just so I could keep up, as I did the first time I read it. The book started me on a quest to learn more about Scotland, it's history and it's contributions to civilization so when I read the audiobook version I was much more familiar with the content. Much of the history and the philosophical concepts introduced in the book were fairly new to me when I originally read it. This is one of the few that I have read that I think shines in both formats. There are so many books I have read in paper form and later in audiobook format and usually I am either disappointed in the audiobook, or I find it much improved over the original version. So I was quite excited to read it in audio format as soon as I could. It is a book I have been waiting for in audio format and it was finally published in audio in August of 2016. I first read this book in 2002, shortly after publishing and found it so informative and well written, I have referred to parts of it several times in the past.
