"This book is a great insight into Stewart's creative process and a nuts-and-bolts look at how you turn a set of facts into a real story with characters, an arc, and dramatic tension. If you are curious about how great nonfiction writers write, check this out."
"Required reading in Michael Pollan's class at the UC Berkeley School of Journalism. (Of course, I've never been in a Michael Pollan class, nor have I ever been to UC Berkeley. I do, however, check colleges I like for English class syllabuses -- many are posted online. I find a lot of interesting books this way. It's sort of like being back in school, but without exams or angst.)
Great chapter here on writing leads, particularly the advice that a good lead "must attract and hold readers by re-creating in their minds the same curiosity that drove you to undertake the story in the first place.""
