If the idea of Black Friday crowds makes you want to stay home and curl up with a good book instead, New America’s got you covered with a cornucopia of amazing reads for this holiday season. Don’t just take our word for it. The Washington Post has named New America board member Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End one of its 10 best books of 2014 and singled out fellow board member Francis Fukuyama’s Political Order and Political Decay: From the Industrial Revolution to the Globalization of Democracy for recognition as one of the year’s 50 notable works of nonfiction.
You’ll also find two of New America’s fellows on the list of the year’s 50 best nonfiction: Schmidt Family Fellow Christopher Leonard’s The Meat Racket: The Secret Takeover of America’s Food Business and Breadwinning and Caregiving Fellow Brigid Schulte’s Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time.
You can round out your holiday bookshelf with New America alum Anand Gopal’s National Book Award Finalist No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War Through Afghan Eyes.
Happy Thanksgiving, book lovers.
