Left unfinished at the time of his death, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin has endured as one of the most well-known and influential autobiographies ever written. From his early years in Boston and Philadelphia to the publication of his Poor Richard's Almanac to the American Revolution and beyond, Franklin's autobiography is a fascinating, personal exploration into the life of America's most interesting founding father.

The story of Napoleon has been written many times. In some versions, he is a military genius, in others a war-obsessed tyrant. Here, historian Adam Zamoyski cuts through the mythology and explains Napoleon against the background of the European Enlightenment and what he was himself seeking to achieve. This most famous of men is also the most hidden of men, and Zamoyski dives deeper than any previous biographer to find him. Beautifully written, Napoleon brilliantly sets the man in his European context.

When Ben Moon moved from the Midwest to Oregon, he hadn’t planned on getting a dog. But when he first met the soulful gaze of a rescue pup in a shelter, Ben instantly felt a connection, and his friendship with Denali was born. The two of them set out on the road together, on an adventure that would take them across the American west and through some of the best years of their lives. But when Ben was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at age 29, he faced a difficult battle with the disease, and Denali never once left his side until they were back out surfing and climbing crags.

Perhaps the most influential science book ever written, On the Origin of Species has continued to fascinate for more than a century after its initial publication. Its controversial theory that populations evolve and adapt through a process known as natural selection led to heated scientific, philosophical, and religious debate, revolutionizing every discipline in its wake. With its clear, concise, and surprisingly enjoyable prose, On the Origin of Species is both captivating and edifying.

Description
Winner, 2017 APA Audie Awards - Nonfiction
From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class.
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love" and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility.
But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance's grandparents, his aunt, his uncle, his sister, and most of all his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.
A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

good book, but the conclusion on how to fix the hillbilly region is kinda lacking. What is proposed is not very tangible.

Deep, moving, heartbreaking and very transferable to other cultural pockets around the world.
I have lived in different countries, different cultures with similar pockets of people to the one JD Vance masterfully describes. My mother and sister as teachers and me as a physician worked inside the core of some of them. We understood that we could not change the culture however, we could with empathy and respect help providing a "route map" and a hand up...

Plain, Hard Truth
The honest and plain hard truth of JD's life and those who influenced it. Although JD broke through the odds and became a well educated man , this inspirational part of his life isn't the main theme for the story. The main theme is the love, kinship, and growing understanding of where he came from, and how it has influenced who he is today. Perhaps those of us who have not experienced such a past have been able to gain some insight by hearing JD's story.

It truly deserves its best-selling status.
If you want to better understanding of hillbilly culture, both the good and bad, this is your book. It's stark, honest, compassionate, and realistic about the struggles faced by many towns and families in America. I actually related to the author much more than I expected too. It's binge-worthy, great story, well written, important topic.

Thanks for this 💕
This was such a moving story. What a sincere and loving depiction of perfectly flawed human beings. This was an emotional ride and I'm glad I got a glimpse of a very smart, articulate person's unique perspective. Also your voice oddly enough seems very similar to Cory from the New World Witchery podcast haha.

Repetitive
Book was interesting at first but after 1/3 of the way through it became extremely repetitive and quite conceited. Very few enlightening moments after you get the gist of the first few chapters. Overrated!
