H's Fifty Non Fiction Favourites

I've been reading a lot more non fiction lately, so I pulled together a list of fifty! Some of these I've read, some of these are on my TBR, but all are/seem interesting and engaging! I lean heavily towards illustrated and graphic novel type books in subjects I'm less familiar with, so those are pretty common here. How many have you read?
