From Wikipedia....
The Smoky God, or A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth is presented as a true account of the Norwegian sailor Olaf Jansen and explains how Jansen's sloop sailed through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole. It is notable as an early story about an underground civilization.
For two years Jansen lived with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who were a full 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a "smoky" central sun. Their capital city was said to be the original Garden of Eden.

* From the DJ: Moving expertly from scientific to political history, Asimov builds a fascinating case for Benjamin Frnaklin's crucial role in winning the American Revolution. Franklin, who had harnesed the power of the thunderstorm, and whose lighting rods were protecting buildings all over Europe, had the stature to persuade France to help the Colonies. The book shows that history is often made in the laboratory instead of the battlefield.
