Popular nonfiction is widely read and is increasingly important to
the curriculum. Literature classes examine the literary
characteristics of nonfiction writing, while social studies courses
turn to popular nonfiction for information about social issues. In
addition, public library patrons are often interested in reading
nonfiction about particular topics. This guide helps students,
teachers, librarians, and general readers identify popular works of
nonfiction related to particular themes. The Thematic Guide to
Popular Nonfiction provides alphabetically arranged extended
entries on 50 themes, including: Adolescent Females American Dream
Commerce Environment Genocide Islamic Women Leadership Poverty Race
Relations And many others. Each entry defines and discusses the
theme and provides a critical analysis of three or four related
works of nonfiction. The entries list additional nonfiction for
further reading, and the Thematic Guide to Popular Nonfiction
closes with lists of additional themes and related works, along
with a bibliography of major works on popular nonfiction. Among the
155 titles discussed are: Angela's Ashes Black Elk Speaks Cheaper
by the Dozen The Day Lincoln Was Shot Fast Food Nation The Hidden
Life of Dogs Manchild in the Promised Land The Perfect Storm
Seabiscuit And many more. High school, public, and academic
libraries will value this guide as an indispensable companion to
popular nonfiction.
