are categorised as follows:
Adult and children’s nonfiction are more popular than you might think, especially in the United States. The following are the top five nonfiction genres in terms of book sales, according to BookScan.
Food
Cookbooks are included in nonfiction food books, although more current food books cover a wide range of topics, from specific cooking elements and ingredients to specialised diets. Books that are part memoir/autobiography and part cookbook can be found alongside classic cookbooks containing recipes. Julia Child’s book Mastering the Art of French Cooking is an example of a well-known food publication.
History
Nonfiction history books are any publications that put forth the known facts about a specific period of time, culture, or historical event in order to educate the reader. Killing England, a popular historical book written by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, is an example of this.
Memoir
Memoirs are a sort of autobiography that can be written. Throughout this style of work, the author focuses on unique moments or events that have resulted in the development of specific life lessons. Michelle Obama’s memoir, Becoming, is a well-known example of a memoir.
Politics
Book titles that are classified as political nonfiction include books published by career politicians, books that examine political systems, and books that cover the politics of a specific time period. Among the many types of political books, satires are those that make fun of a particular person or institution. A Confederacy of Dunces, a novel by John Kennedy Toole, is an example of political satire written in the twentieth century.
Self-Help
Self-help books are written with the intention of assisting the reader in better some aspect of her life. Relationships, finances, and mental health are just a few of the topics covered in self-help publications. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, written by Stephen R. Covey, is a typical example of a well-known self-help book that has endured over time.
