By Colin Salter, Scott Christianson A thought-provoking chronological timeline of 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 ground-breaking 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 History of Time , Stephen Hawking (1988)
