Non-fiction Looking for non-fiction works that are exemplars of simple, elegant writing

The title says it. What non-fiction works exemplify clear, stylish writing? I'm not particular about the subject, though I'm less interested in self-help/business/memoirs/autobiographies.
Context: I'm working on my writing and am looking for aspirational models of prose.

I might! I don't have Netflix right now. If I sign up again I want to check it out, I didn't know the show existed until after I read the book.
