More clues would help a lot.
The only one I've read on your list is Henrietta Lacks, which I thought was extremely good. Some nonfiction I have enjoyed (from very very much to a fair bit), for what it is worth, taking out biographies and memoirs, which I think is a bit of shame, but so it goes:
Stephen Jay Gould's books
Am I Black Enough For You? - Anita Heiss
The Wife Drought - Annabel Crabb
The Language Instinct - Steven Pinker
Carl Sagan's books
Natural Curiosity: Unseen Art of the First Fleet
Nickel and Dimed
Cod and Salt - Mark Kurlansky
Just My Type: A Book About Fonts - Simon Garfield
Sincerely - Marieke Hardy (ed)
The Perfume Lover: A Natural History of Scent - Denyse Beaulieu
Chicks Unravel Time - Deborah Stanish (ed)
The Bill Brysons, as above
Oliver Sacks, particularly The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat
Godel, Escher, Bach
