Volume 100 of the Short Nonfiction Collection celebrates 16 years (2007-2023) of volunteer readings which reflect the wide range of nonfiction writing. Volume 100 exemplifies this diversity with topics as far afield as declassified CIA documents and Bible verses (CIA Avian Training; Story of Creation; Mark Twain on Biblical Patriarchs; Hidden Years at Nazareth). Other selections highlight the natural world and scientific inquiry (White Hurricane; Ancient Meadows; Improving Natural Knowledge; Know the $100 Note); as well as the complexities of human morals, love, politics, and behavior (American Genius; Frauds on the Bank of Liverpool; Wreck of a Slave Ship; Louisa Catherine Johnson to John Quincy Adams; Seven Pillars of Wisdom; and the Hippocratic Oath). Inventions and crafts are treated in Steel Railway Rails; and The Willow Pattern. Lastly, humor is not neglected (Reflections on Riding; and The Two Husbands). Summary by Sue Anderson
