A lovely anthology for courses in literary nonfiction

How would you like to read what Sir Edmund Hillary wrote about climbing, or Alexander Graham Bell wrote about inventions? This book is a jewel... a brilliant idea, marvelously executed. I plan to include it on the syllabus for my nonfiction literature course.
