Nonfiction books to understand our fellow animals and, through them, ourselves

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Memoirs that make you sit and think for an hour, a day, a week or maybe forever.
