Nick's Non-fiction

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz

Originally published in 1940, this book is a rare phenomenon, a living classic that introduces and elucidates the various levels of reading and how to achieve them—from elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading. Readers will learn when and how to “judge a book by its cover,” and also how to X-ray it, read critically, and extract the author’s message from the text.

If you'd put a young John Osbourne up against a wall with the other kids from his street and asked which one was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, nobody would’ve put money on John, no f**king way. But here he is, ready to tell his story, in his own words, for the first time.

In a cave in the Himalayas, a guide discovers a self-mutilated body with the warning--Satan exists. In the Kalahari Desert, a nun unearths evidence of a proto-human species and a deity called Older-than-Old. In Bosnia, something has been feeding upon the dead in a mass grave. So begins mankind’s most shocking realization: that the underworld is a vast geological labyrinth populated by another race of beings.

The Critique of Pure Reason is a book by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, in which the author seeks to determine the limits and scope of metaphysics. Kant builds on the work of empiricist philosophers such as John Locke and David Hume. Prior to Kant, it was thought that all a priori knowledge must be analytic. Kant, however, argues that our knowledge of mathematics, of the first principles of natural science, and of metaphysics, is both a priori and synthetic.

Girls and women were once second-class citizens in the nation's schools. Americans responded with concerted efforts to give girls and women the attention and assistance that was long overdue. Now, after two major waves of feminism and decades of policy reform, women have made massive strides in education. Today they outperform men in nearly every measure of social, academic, and vocational well-being. Christina Hoff Sommers contends that it's time to take a hard look at present-day realities and recognize that boys need help.

Laura Hillenbrand brought to life one of the great survivor tales of World War II about Louis Zamperini missing in action in the Pacific theater. In Unbroken, a dirt poor Italian immigrant runs his way from the LA Colosseum to the 1936 Berlin Olympics and as far as Hitlers luxury box. Louis lined up with his fellow country men to fly the experimental machinery of the day. The B-24, a.k.a. the flying coffin, would have Louis lost at sea in the equatorial Pacific where Amelia Aerhart disappeared just six years earlier. 48 days lost at sea, stabbing away sharks while floating 2000 miles into enemy territory is only the beginning of his odyssey of survival.

Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there were a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. The results are optimal improvisational accounts leaving the reader with great clarity and hilarity.

(Announcement: The full hour has been restored. Part 2 is 100% free of thought.)

Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years; the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source.
