September 2021 Nominations (Non-Fiction)
The category for September 2021 is Non-Fiction.
Everyone gets three nominations and three seconds. Since there were so few thirds in the last nomination thread, nominations will only need one nod to be eligible for voting. We'll end the nominations on 30. August and the voting will begin after that. (JSWolf will start the voting thread.) |

Looking for a science themed book, perhaps Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time. I'll decide later. It's not available as an ebook (and out of print as well) and way too long to nominate, but if you ever get the chance to read Issac Asimov's A New Guide to Science, it's a fantastic read on the history of science. Much of the material from Carl Sagan's Cosmos probably came from this book. Fortunately I picked up a used hardback.

Not a lot of action here, I wonder if there's less interest in non-fiction?
I'll nominate a couple of books I've been meaning to read: This is Not a Drill by Extinction Rebellion: Quote:
