In some sense the Brigliadori book is the "update", including sports
psychology, turn area task strategy, some discussion of technology,
new sources of weather analysis (surely the biggest change since
Reichman's day) and postflight analysis using software. It's a little
more loosely written, more a poetic than German engineering approach.
The translation is a little rough in spots. (For example, the long
discussion of "dynamic" soaring looks really hot until you realize
this means "ridge soaring" in Italian.) The stories and pictures are
good too.
