Books That Changed the World: Part B

This is the 2nd of 3 instalments in this series. It takes a more global and less 'classical' perspective than the 1st instalment (follow the link). It is sourced from "Books That Changed The World: The 50 Most Influential Books in Human History" (Andrew Taylor, 2014 edn).
I'll let you decide whether you have studied the phone book, atlas, dictionary etc intensively enough to deserve a point.
