NonFiction of the week 24 December [View all]

Light week for my non-fic reading. My last book of the year will be Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher by Timothy Egan, a biography of Edward Curtis. Curtis spent three decades photographing and recording Native Americans and their culture. Much of what he logged would become the best, and sometimes only, records we have of tribal languages and rituals.

So what non-fiction is everyone else reading?
