I got a copy of the later book.  In the very front it says its based on 
material and ideas from the first book.  It reads very much like a TAB book
which is a little dissapointing.  Most of the "projects" are based around the
simple idea of Make a detector ( mic / hydrophone / antenna ) plug it into a
cheap amplifier and see what you hear.  Its kinda a cool idea-book I suppose
but I would really ignore that it has Projects in the title.

I'm keeping it on the back of the toilet so I have something to read in there.
