History Books On Scotland?

One I particularly enjoyed was "The Scottish Enlightenment The Scots' Invention of the Modern World", Arthur Herman. It is particularly interesting and covers the Scots in America as well. ISBN 978-1-84115-276-9.

I was about to post that I had also read that one, but this is the title of the book I read.
How the Scots Invented the Modern World: the true story of how western Europe's poorest nation created our world and everything in it, by Arthur Herman; New York: Crown Publishers/Random House, 2001.



Perhaps it has been published under a different name over here, or one is an earlier work. It sounds like they cover much of the same subject.

Anyway that's the one I read, and I enjoyed it, too.

Looks like that is the title of the British published book, but they are, as far as I can find out, the same book.
