Boston Public Library's 100 Most Influential Books of the 20th Century - Page 3

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.
