A Degree of Mastery
The Boys in the Boat
And assuming you don't mind a collection of essays, I would recommend What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions.

I found Factfulness very interesting.

The Library Book by Susan Orlean is fantastic.

A great book is Never Caught by Erica Armstrong Dunbar. I've given it to several people!

Anything by Candice Millard, David Grann, or Erik Larson. I’m in the middle of Ghosts of Gold Mountain, Gordon Chang’s book on Chinese workers who built the Transcontinental Railroad.

Simon Garfield writes general books about special subjects. I loved Mauve about chemical dyes being developed in the mid19th century, and the environmental, financial, fashionable, international etc ramifications of that. Also, On The Map is a dipintoable read about exploration atlases and colonialism which made me snort with laughter in places.
Mary Roach is a science journalist - her most famous book is Stiff, about human corpses, but she did a book Packing for Mars about space travel and how to make a totally self contained eco system on a long range space vessel. Fair warning, a lot of the book was about poo.
