"Verifiable subject matter and exhaustive research guarantee the nonfiction side of literary nonfiction; the narrative form and structure disclose the writer’s artistry; and finally, its polished language reveals that the goal all along has been literature."

Yes, that sounds pretty good. I suppose the trick is then to find the books that have that polished language and also the depth of interpretation which we had in the book by John Hemming.

Thanks for the link, Bookworm_Girl.
