Boston Public Library's 100 Most Influential Books of the 20th Century

This is one of the lists used to compile the master list at thegreatestbooks.org. It is Boston Public Library's "The 100 Most Influential Books of the Century". A thoughtful collection of fiction and non-fiction works.
Please note: Heisenberg's book was specified as "Uncertainty Principle" at thegreatestbooks.org. No such book exists so I have installed what seems the most relevant of his works at Item 100.
