100 BOOKS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD - SCOTT CHRIST...

A thought-provoking chronological journey through the world's most influential books. Many
books have become classics  must-reads or overnight publishing sensations  but how many can
genuinely claim to have changed the way we see and think? In 100 Books that Changed the World 
authors Scott Christianson and Colin Salter bring together an exceptional collection of truly
groundbreaking books - from scriptures that founded religions  to scientific treatises that
challenged beliefs  to novels that kick-started literary genres. This elegantly designed book 
first published in 2018 but updated with an exciting new cover  offers a chronological timeline
of three millennia of human thought distilled in print  from the earliest illuminated
manuscripts to the age of ebooks and audiobooks. Entries include: ¿ The Iliad and The Odyssey 
Homer (750 BC)  ¿ Shakespeare's First Folio (1623)  ¿ A Vindication of the Rights of Woman  
Mary Wollstonecraft (1792)  ¿ Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1845)  ¿ The Diary
of a Young Girl   Anne Frank (1947)  ¿ Things Fall Apart   Chinua Achebe (1958)  ¿ A Brief
