Genre - Nonfiction
Nonfiction can range from biographies to history. The topics
for these type books must be researched. Some history books
may take a scholar years to complete. It may be tedious and
boring at times but there is no other way to get the job done.
There are many, many resources to do research on line. If you
are attending a university you have some of the best libraries in
the world. We take our libraries for granted in the US. Many
countries do not have public libraries.

IPL (Internet Public Library) Reference site is extensive and very
well done.

Religion, Occultism, Philosophy, Parapsychology, Philosophy,
Social Sciences, Language, Natural Science and Mathematics,
Technology, The Arts, and Literature and Rhetoric.
