Simon's 150 Essential Books of Non-Fiction (Old List) - Page 3

The top 150 non-fiction any erudite will need to read to understand business, psychology, physics, history, biographies, economics, politics, current affairs, and science.
The main reason for adding the long list was that all current list's were uninteresting and/or substandard. This list is tilted toward currently available non-fiction in English.
