From ancient times to the present day, The World in Books offers a wide-ranging historical education through pleasure reading—and a fantastic introduction to some of the most thought-provoking, profound, and interesting nonfiction works of all time. From Sun Tzu’s The Art of War to bell hooks’s All About Love, as well as such recent classics as Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s We Should All Be Feminists, Davis’s guide suggests a world of nonfiction books and explains just why they’re so historically meaningful and culturally relevant today. The perfect guide for the modern-day reader, these fifty-two selections provide an ideal way to explore some of the most enduring, influential books ever published, introducing us anew to world-shaping historical figures, events, and ideas. Kenneth C. Davis is the author of Don’t Know Much About® History, which spent 35 consecutive weeks on The New York Times bestseller list, and gave rise to the Don’t Know Much About® series of books and audios, which has a combined in-print total of some 4.7-million copies. In September 2020, Don’t Know Much About® History: Anniversary Edition was released by HarperCollins. A revised, updated, and expanded edition of the book that started the series thirty years ago, it presents a complete survey of American history, from before the arrival of Columbus in 1492 right through the events of the past decade –from 9/11 through the election of Barack Obama and the first years of his administration. This 30th anniversary edition included a new preface, “From the Era of Broken Trust to the Era of Broken Democracy.” Davis is also the author of the New York Times bestseller America’s Hidden History: Untold Tales of the First Pilgrims, Fighting Women, and Forgotten Founders Who Shaped a Nation. In September 2016, his book IN THE SHADOW OF LIBERTY: The Hidden History of Slavery, Four Presidents, and Five Black Lives was published to critical acclaim. In May 2018, MORE DEADLY THAN WAR: The Hidden History of the Spanish Flu and The First World War was published. In October 2020, STRONGMAN: The Rise of Five Dictators and the Fall of Democracy was released. In November 2022, Scribner published Great Short Books: A Year of Reading–Briefly. For more than 30 years, Kenneth C. Davis has proven that Americans don’t hate history, just the dull version they slept through in class. But many of them want to know now because their kids are asking them questions they can’t answer. Davis’s approach is to refresh us on the subjects we should have learned in school. He does it by busting myths, setting the record straight, and always remembering that fun is not a four-letter word.

I was born and raised in Shelby, North Carolina. We had a farm in Rutherford County where my dad grew up where we had horses and black angus cows. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in criminal justice and I worked in law enforcement training at the North Carolina Department of Justice before I went to law school at North Carolina Central University. I've been a member of the North Carolina Bar since 1983, which is the same year I joined the Air Force. While in the Air Force, I earned a Master of Laws in government procurement law from the George Washington University School of Law and a Master of Laws in military law from the U.S. Army JAG School. I'm best known for having served as the Chief Prosecutor for the terrorism trials at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After serving in that role for two years, I resigned when I was ordered to use evidence that was obtained by torture. Later, I was head of the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division at the Congressional Research Service; a law professor at the Howard University School of Law; and an administrative law judge at the U.S. Department of Labor. I've written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and I've appeared on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News and NPR. I retired in 2019 and moved back home to western North Carolina. I was the Democratic Party nominee for the NC 11 congressional seat in 2020. My wife and I have a rescue cat named Mika and a rescue dog named Maggie. Built to lose. I've been training to lose this Senate race for all of my life. I voted for Al Gore in 2000, cheered for Carolina basketball during the Matt Doherty era, and watch the Carolina Panthers on Sundays (shudder). It's the thrill of a lifetime to give voters in District 37 the opportunity to choose their next representative. I'm going to lose, but we'll have some fun, make some noise, and raise some hell on the way down. My platform Abortion is healthcare.We must fully fund public education.We need common sense gun laws to keep our communities safe. And all of those would be achievable in our purple state if we had a representative democracy instead of this gerrymandered nonsense. When I'm not losing Family I'm mom to Winnie (7) and Max (6) and wife to Dan.

During our seven years in business, we received national awards (including SCORE small business of the year), were featured in Forbes and MSN, and I was named to the inaugural Forbes Next 1000 list. I left the company in September 2021 in the hope of finding better work-life balance.

Get his book Go Back To Where You Came From: And, Other Helpful Recommendations on Becoming American which will be published in January 2022 by Norton. He believes in sharing stories that are by us, for everyone: universal narratives told through a culturally specific lens to entertain, educate and bridge the global divides. He frequently appears on television and podcasts for his brilliant, incisive, and witty political commentary. Born in the Bay Area, California to Pakistani immigrant parents, Ali went to school wearing Husky pants and knowing only three words of English. He graduated from UC Berkeley with an English major and became a licensed attorney. He knows what it feels like to be the token minority in the classroom and the darkest person in a boardroom. Like Spiderman, he’s often had the power and responsibility of being the cultural ambassador of an entire group of people, those who are often marginalized, silenced, or reduced to stereotypes. His essays, interviews, and reporting have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and New York Review of Books. Ali has spoken at many organizations, from Google to Walmart-Jet to Princeton University to the United Nations to the Chandni Indian-Pakistani Restaurant in Newark, California, and his living room in front of his three kids.
