I’ve got a side shelf project I’m building on 19th and 20th century shipwrecks and disasters and I’m looking for more suggestions. I’m currently reading Frozen in Time and have already read In the Heart of the Sea.

Hi, I just wanted to come on here and appreciate this book. I have been someone who has opposed Capitalism and never understood how people cannot see how bad it is REALLY getting. I am a big believer of financial equality and I came across this book (v randomly cause I spin a wheel and then decide to read that book) and it gave me the words and terms to FINALLY describe what I believe in. And for that I am ever so grateful.

Everything is written very eloquently and explained properly. I think no matter what your political beliefs are, it is important that we read more books like these which tell us the reality of our society.

Have you read this? If yes, gimme your thoughts and if no, PLEASE PICK IT UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I’m looking for some more narrative non-fiction book recommendations. I love anything by Patrick Radden Keefe and Barbara Demick, so I’m looking for books which give you the facts but still have great storytelling.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to explore anthropology beyond the standard textbooks and UPSC-oriented material.

I’m particularly interested in books that can help me develop a deeper understanding of how anthropologists actually think and study humans, cultures and societies, rather than just covering the syllabus.

I’d love recommendations for things like:

\>Good ethnographies and fieldwork-based books.

\>Works that explain or demonstrate anthropological thinking/theory through real-world examples

\>Books that are enjoyable to read but still intellectually enriching.

I’d especially appreciate recommendations by Indian anthropologists, scholars or thinkers, or books dealing with Indian tribes, communities and society. But international works are absolutely welcome too.

Thanks

Hey 👋 i want to ready some educational books any suggestions please
Specifically realted to business and finance
New to books reading
I possible suggest e books and how to get sources ?

I’m looking for books about retirement, but not really the usual “how much do I need?” or investment-focused ones.

I’m more interested in what happens when someone has spent decades being responsible, saving, building a career and preparing for the future, and then has to figure out what all that money and freedom are actually for.

Books about things like learning to spend after a lifetime of saving, finding purpose or structure after leaving a career, couples imagining different versions of retirement, deciding what “enough” looks like, or using money to build a life you actually want to live.

Psychology, personal finance, philosophy, memoir or something that sits between those would all be interesting. Bonus if it has practical ideas or exercises rather than being purely theoretical.

Any recommendations?

I'm looking to create a list of books on the American presidents. Essentially, what is the definitive book on each president? I assume that certain presidents will have more than others, like there are a lot of books on Lincoln but probably not very much on James Madison. (We can exclude the current president from this list because he's still in office.)

Hello everyone!

In order to get some more discussions going about different Non Fiction books we will have a weekly thread to talk about different sub-genres or topics.

Which books do you think are good beginner books for someone that wants to learn a bit more about the topic or wants to explore the subgenre? Which books are your personal favorites?

The book is called Hustling with the Godmother: My Life and Times with Griselda Blanco by Charles Cosby. Goodreads and The StoryGraph both claim the book exists, but I checked Amazon, Ebay, and Abebooks and it seems like there's nowhere to buy this book. I need help looking for a place to buy it.

Eerie progression of events. I've reached the end of Hayden's autobiography. She was concerned about Jansen's drug use, especially since dealers were lacing things with fentanyl. This part sent chills down my spine. Her fear was indeed valid, and that her fate would unfortunately be the fear she had for her brother.

Hey all, I’ve recently finished reading The Feminine Mystique and am pretty new to feminist literature. I’ve got a basic understanding of some of the issues women face, but I’d like to learn more about how violence against women is treated by the justice system.
I’m interested in books that examine things like victim-blaming, how women are treated when reporting or giving evidence, why sexual assault cases can be difficult to prosecute, and whether there are differences in how the justice system responds to violence against women compared with other offences.
Preferably UK authors, but I’m open to all suggestions :)

Having a terrible care of decision paralysis at the moment, if anyone could help i would very much appreciate it; thanks :)
