A couple additions I would suggest (keeping with the theme of non-fiction interesting to the general reader, not industry-specific works):
* Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling - Ross King
* The Invention of Air - Steven Johnson
* The Silk Roads: A New History of the World - Peter Frankopan
Other suggestions?
- Fernicia 7y ago"Secondhand Time: Last of the Soviets" is an oral history of the USSR. Lots of interesting stories and perspectives. I really enjoyed it.
- ianleeclark 7y ago"Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life" Is an interesting book which covers the creation and maintenance of a concept of "race" in the United States. > Most people assume that racism grows from a perception of human difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of racism. Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through what they call “racecraft.”
