Holly Richardson: A summer’s worth of non-fiction reading

In spite of the March-like weather, summer is (hopefully) just around the corner and can be a great time to catch up on some reading.

If you have fiction books you love to recommend, send them my way. My bookshelves are sadly lacking in fiction! I do, however, have some great non-fiction reads to recommend, including books from two “taboo” genres: politics and religion. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

“An Accident of Geography: Compassion, Innovation and the Fight Against Poverty,” by Richard C. Blum. The author, founder of the American Himalayan Foundation, believes as I do that everyone has something they can contribute; everyone has something they can do to actively help others less fortunate, even if they were born somewhere geographically disadvantageous.
