Details: 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.
