Первая сотня
Всегда интересно, когда кто-то берет на себя смелость разбить на ранги. Вот источник, в нем сказано о первой сотне лучших научных книг ХХ века

The Physical Sciences
The Ferris book is a comprehensive, up-to-date look at cosmology, the science of the whole shebang. Hawking's personal account, done years back, became the unrivalled science bestseller. Weinberg places theoretical physics in a personal, candid and literary context not found elsewhere. Weyl's masterpiece of simplicity uses a brief, beautiful set of images to outline a profound mathematical idea. The entire list is most rewarding.
The second, more technical list contains the Einstein volume with all the original papers of his magical year, 1905. The Russell-Whitehead volumes are a monument of their epoch too, hard going (and since Godel, even inconclusive). Cyril Smith's essays on materials in technology and in art are unforgettable.

Many-Sided Life
Jacob and Monod, long colleagues in Paris, offer two brief assessments of molecular biology. Before them came Schrodinger, life as the work of a protean crystal—realized by the double helix. Here too are the jeweled plankton and fish of the seas, the calls of birds, the ecology of countryside, ice and jungle, viral threats, dinosaur finds, all cells—many-sided life viewed many ways.

---------------
конечно, не по всем темам, вовсе не по всем наукам. Но ведь можно дополнить? Тут ведь что приятно - не литература, не только о вкусах речь. Цена деления - в целый век, "лучшие книги ХХ века" - наверное, не для того, чтобы вспоминать точные годы публикаций, а чтобы ощутить масштаб. Не за последние 10-30 лет, а вон как. Чтобы самые лучшие выделить.
А? Кажется, это было бы очень интересно.
