Agree with anything by Bill Bryson
Hiroshima by John Hersey
Yep any of these and anything by Mary Roach or Bill Bryson

I'll add my favorite non-fiction book - The Immense Journey by Loren Eiseley it is a bit dated science-wise (it was written mid 20th century) but reading it is awe inspiring and pure poetry in prose.
