Week 8 Assignment 3 Nonfiction Genres

Food: These are typically found near the cookbooks in the 641s. Some are listed in bios if they center around a main chef or food writer.
Heat : an amateur's adventures as kitchen slave, line cook, pasta maker, and apprentice to a Dante-quoting butcher in Tuscany or
Spiced : a pastry chef's true stories of trials by fire, after-hours exploits, and what really goes on in the kitchen by Dalia Jurgersen

Travel: The nonfiction narratives are located in the 910-919s, interfiled with other travel books by region.
Eat, pray, love : one woman's search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert is a popular title among this genre that has attracted readers of women's fiction

Disaster/survival: These can be located in 2 main DDC spots. Most are in the 613s, the call number for personal health and safety, but some are in 796s for outdoor recreation. Here are books published by Field and Stream and focusing on how to make it in the great outdoors.
The disaster diaries : how I learned to stop worrying and love the apocalypse by Sam Sheridan is both entertaining and informative

Crime: True crime stories may be found in 364.1523, the call number is under social sciences and criminology. Ann Rule is a prolific author who dominates this category, but other stories like
The devil in the white city : murder, magic, and madness at the fair that changed America tell "I can't believe it's true" stories of crime

I wish they would have talked about more narrative nonfiction in the children's section as there are so many great examples of these wonderful teaching tools like "Sir Cumference and all the King's Tens" in various dewey areas.
