Looking for some good non fiction to just help me learn and gain knowledge. I can’t think of anything right now that I’d be disinterested in, just wanna read and learn random stuff whether it’s actually applicable to my life or not

I read a great book last year called Close to Shore by Michael Capuzzo about the New Jersey series of great white shark attacks in 1916. They are the events which inspired the book and film Jaws. I never knew that great whites have been known to take humans in three feet of water.
