This is a selection of references and guidebooks on cultural literacy and other subjects (with GEMs highlighted).  The list includes links for the Wikipedia page and an e-book version (if available).  There is also a column called “More info” with links to optional posts on each book.

Note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)  You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.

The books on the list include guidebooks on education and cultural literacy as well as almanacs and other reference books.  It also includes books on topics like wellness and gardening. (Note that reference books like dictionaries, thesauruses, etc. are listed separately in the “Language & Writing” page of the Non-Fiction section.)
