Thank you very much!
@@susanne5803 It's a pleasure. 🌻
there's only one book that's shaping everyone's life now - "1984".
Is there anyone like me who never heard about any of the above books😅

"Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson -- written in 1962 , has remained amazingly prescient. A marine biologist and environmentalist, she had an impact on a generation that promptly "forgot" her warnings.
Wrong title. Unless you meant "our British contemporary-very-local-world." Chilean librarian here. I thought we were going to see the influence of the Bible, Principia, On the Origin of Species, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Confucius and such. The only book you mention I had known something about was The Feminine Mystique. And I am a librarian...
I agree - from New Zealand - (my mother was a librarian) - I agree with your list far from than theirs - these books - what?!? Bible yes, Principia yes were on my list along with Shakespeare - and Darwin - instead a fricking FOOD book!!! I'm completely confused about who made this list and how they choose these random unlikely books
I wish to become a librarian, could you please tell me what I need to do?
I was mighty surprised, too. Being a doctor of Applied Linguistics, I am not strictly an expert in history or literature, so I hoped to learn something new and interesting, but then I suspected I would recognize a title or two... I thought, like others, of the Bible and the Quran, but also of Copernicus' "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium", Platon or Homer (not strictly books, I know, but Illiad and Odyssey have been published since). Maybe even The Code of Hammurabi. Books that have changed the world, not a generation. The title is most certainly misleading and the task of choosing just 5 books that have changed the world (rather than 10, perhaps) - too ambitious.
@@IndianJone Greetings. Sorry for the delay, I didn't get a notification. Well, to become a librarian you must do what most people does to become a professional, go to college/university and get your degree. It depends on where you live and the possibilities to access to high education, of course. Two things:
-If you really want to be a librarian, you can afford the career (or get a scholarship, whatever available) and where you live there are several entities that offer the courses, first think if you are interested more in the cultural aspects or in the administrative aspects of a library. Different schools offer different approaches to the subject; get the one that better suits you.
-If, for whatever reason, you cannot get the title of librarian by the usual way, go to the libraries in your city and ask the people what they do and how they got the job. There are plenty of teachers, journalists, secretaries and others who learned the ropes of the profession while working at a library, sometimes they can validate their experience for the title. At least, you could get a job in a library and start from there, if there is possibilities of advancement. But don't forget, this is a profession, and there's lots of technical things to learn, even more now with all the computers and the Internet.
Good luck ✌

The 5 books that have impacted me: Shantaram, The Alchemist, The Kite Runner, The collected short stories of Roald Dahl and Nirmala by Premchand (Hindi).
It's over generalisation to say 'world' . What we see here is a classic colonial attitude. Where the knowledge systems of other cultures are discredited .
You said it 👏🏼
Things Fall Apart is from Africa
How did you do this classification?!
Wonderful! Hope BBC ideas have more useful and interesting lessons! I love the channel so much.
Thank you very much - we're so happy to hear you're enjoying our videos! 🧡
Five books on issues discussed in our wold today.
Me who didn't know all these books before😂 thank you for your great recommendations. I really got excited about some books you mentioned so I'm going to read them.
One of my fave books was The Outsiders. We studied it at school.
I love books more than people
Thank you bbc ideas learned a lot.❤❤❤
The Bible, the Koran, the Torah, Das Capital, The Bhagavad-Gita???
The Origin of Species!
This is just way to push propaganda rather than real books
Not even one book mentioned here I ever heard of despite being eager reader
it's BBC after all.
Books are medicine value and knowledge is derived from every book. So read at least one book every day
The obligatory RIGHT choice of books but not the CORRECT choices.
You have a fricking COOK BOOK on this list?!? - as for the rest *WHAT* ?!? I majored in history- more specially history of *change* - and *these* books?!? Irrelevant!!!
Interesting!CLS!
Five books that shaped our (our means bbc ideas) world.

Kuran must be there for u
If really apply title it has to be....The Bible,the Koran, the Bhagvat Gita and Das capital ( communist manifesto)
Piling them up on to my amazon card already, thank you BBC IDEAS

aboslute rubbish! thought you guys are neutral ! you post a video naming " five books that shaped our ourl and don't include Bible,Quran in the list..... IRONY
so no 1984 then?
To really giving justice to the title it has to be..
1. The Bible
2. The Koran
3. The Bhagvat Gita
5.Das capital (Communist manifesto).
Hi, In India there are 2 epic books that changed the entire world more than 4000 years ago…
1) Mahabharata 2) Bhagvada Gita
& the craze is still growing strongly even after so many years.
+Kamasutra+ Arthshastra+Panchtantra.
10 months and only 18k views.....does not seem many people are interested in what you think
Das Capital, Origin of Species, Wealth of Nations..
The Bible
Who’s here for school?
