Hello! I'm a little embarrassed to say, but I've been back for a long time. My re -introduction was through a fantasy book (I know, don't judge me), but I want to read non -fiction, what's happening in the world, and why things are I want to recognize that so well, but I know where to start from Don. thank you!
First of all, there is no embarrassment in any of them. Many people do a long stretch without reading -it happens! The world is a busy place full of distracted things, and I don't think you need to take a break. There is no problem reading fantasy books. After all, it means reading an old genre like storytelling. Personally, if I want to read more books to understand the world, I can be a little worse than Ursula K. Le Gin.
But you asked for non -fiction. So! Probably, for the general public, the American historian is probably Professor Jill Repoa of Harvard University. Her book These truths: US history Is the history of a story that begins in 1492, ends in 2016, and grows nearly 1000 pages in the process. Don't be afraid of its length. It is a rich and easy -to -read history that is a vast and inconsistent machine in American experiments and does not disturb women and colored people.
If you want to know what happened in North America from a native perspective, point to you Rediscovered in the United States: Understanding indigenous and our history By Yale's historian Ned Blackhawk. Black Hawk will place indigenous people at the center of American politics from 1492 to the 21st century. His central question is, “How can a nation founded in the hometown of the confiscated indigenous people become the world's most exemplary democracy?”
Finally, let's go back to all of them 1177 BC: The year when civilization collapsedGeorge Wasington University Archaeologist Eric H. Klein. This book, which is very easy to read, focuses on a series of catastrophes that hit the east and east of the east in the 12th century BC. Invasion, earthquake, volcanic eruption, drought: The minnows on Cretta and the Babylonians in Mesopotamia collapse, fall, and the Pharaon Egypt shakes. This book has become more and more popular in the last recent global instability, and may help you think about how civilization has failed before.
We would like to recommend non -fiction books focusing on science fiction, science/universe!
The most strange and most beautiful book about science and space I met in the past few years is Benjaminra Batut When we stop understanding the world。 Labatut is interested in the breakthrough of the theoretical physics in the 20th century and is good at evoking the fear of the universe embedded in ideas like black holes. Like a snake around them. This book is a description of some novel history and some philosophical papers, all of which are beautiful.
Hi! I am looking for a real robbery novel with all twists and turns provided by a movie -like version. I want all the ES: a miscellaneous gang, such as honorable thieves, tracking, and conspiracy twist. I love the genre of the movie and want to escape in different media in a genre. I have not opposed the fantasy/science fiction settings. I'm having fun 6 crows and Rocklomara's lieBut, I think I prefer something that is more based on reality. thank you!
What you want is Corson Whitehead Harem shuffle And the sequel, Scammer manifest。 They are a novel of robbery from a fence perspective. In this case, Ray Carney, a harem furniture seller who thinks he is really bent, “slightly bent.” Through his very bent, Freddie, I realized that Ray was involved in a plot that steals a hotel known as Harlem's Waldorf. These books are playful, stylish and luxurious.
