Books That Changed the World: Part C - Page 2

I feel I've saved the best for last: the source work is as much a fascinating study of social, scientific and technological change over the centuries as it is a list of great works of literature.
This is the 3rd and final instalment of the series. It is sourced from "100 Books That Changed the World" (Scott Christianson, 2018).
I'll let you decide whether you have studied the thesaurus, dictionary etc intensively enough to deserve a point. BTW, there are 101 books on my list because I subdivided the Kinsey reports.
Works common to all 3 challenges are:
The Iliad (Homer)
The Republic (Plato)
The Bible: Authorized King James Version
The Prince (Niccolò Machiavelli)
Newton's Principia Mathematica
The Wealth of Nations (Adam Smith)
On the Origin of Species (Charles Darwin)
The Interpretation of Dreams (Sigmund Freud)
Silent Spring (Rachel Carson)
