Actually, non-fiction is any kind of writing that seeks to document or otherwise explore the tangible world around us in a factual way. It can take many forms. An essay gives the writer's own thoughts on a topic. A biography tells of a real person's life. Books on science or math or space exploration or any other topic are usually classified as non-fiction. Speeches are not always non-fiction. One of the most famous "lecturers", Mark Twain, often read from his works of fiction, but speeches do often fall into the category of essays, giving the speaker's views on a topic.
