Book Synopsis Flat Earth by : Christine Garwood
Download or read book Flat Earth written by Christine Garwood. This book was released on 2008-08-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief fostered in countless school classrooms the world over, Christopher Columbus did not discover that the earth was round. The idea of a spherical world had been widely accepted in educated circles from as early as the fourth century B.C. Yet, bizarrely, it was not until the supposedly more rational nineteenth century that the notion of a flat earth really took hold. Even more bizarrely, it persists to this day, despite Apollo missions and widely publicized pictures of the decidedly spherical Earth from space. Based on a range of original sources, Garwood's history of flat-Earth beliefs---from the Babylonians to the present day---raises issues central to the history and philosophy of science, its relationship to religion and the making of human knowledge about the natural world. Flat Earth is the first definitive study of one of history's most notorious and persistent ideas, and it evokes all the intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual turmoil of the modern age. Ranging from ancient Greece, through Victorian England, to modern-day America, this is a story that encompasses religion, science, and pseudoscience, as well as a spectacular array of people and places. Where else could eccentric aristocrats, fundamentalist preachers, and conspiracy theorists appear alongside Copernicus, Newton, and NASA, except in an account of such a legendary misconception? Thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating, Flat Earth is social and intellectual history at its best.

Book Synopsis Flat Earthers Around the Globe by : James Egan
Download or read book Flat Earthers Around the Globe written by James Egan. This book was released on 2018-07-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although you may think this book's title is a joke, I assure you that there are people today that adamantly believe the world is flat. Worse still, the number of Flat Earthers has been increasing in recent years. How could that be possible? NASA has taken photos of the Earth from space to confirm it is round. According to The Flat Earth Society, NASA are lying. NASA never went to space... because space isn't real. You might find this concept preposterous. Are Flat Earthers suggesting every astronomer and physicist is wrong? No. Flat Earthers believe that so-called "scientists" know the Earth is flat but they are lying. Why would anyone lie about the shape of the Earth? How can Flat Earthers be so sure? If the Earth is flat, why doesn't the oceans spill out at the sides? All of these questions will be explained in this book. Read on to learn the history of the Flat Earth community, why they believe what they believe, and most importantly, how we know their beliefs are irrefutably false.

Book Synopsis One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe by : William Carpenter
Download or read book One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe written by William Carpenter. This book was released on 2020-07-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1895, this volume contains a series of arguments against the idea that the world is round. The belief that the Earth is flat and not a globe existed in many ancient civilisations, but we now know that this is not true. However, even today there are those who believe in a flat earth, just as there was when ideas of a spherical earth were relatively new. Within this book, the author explains why these new ideas of the planet as a globe are absurd, with interesting examples and explanations as to precisely why. Highly recommended for those with an interest in Flat Earth theory and the history of astronomy. Contents include: “Ships 'Going Down!'”, “How Much Loner Will it Be?”, “Absurd Theory!”, “No Proof to be Had”, “When the Man Has Time!”, “Earth A Globe”, “The Scientific Wager of 1870”, “Our Opponents Ways and Means”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book today in an affordable, modern edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Book Synopsis The Flat Earth as Key to Decrypt the Book of Enoch by : Zen Garcia
Download or read book The Flat Earth as Key to Decrypt the Book of Enoch written by Zen Garcia. This book was released on 2015-09-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after accepting the flat earth as a model for the world, I decided to revisit the Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries to see if my new understanding would somehow mirror what Enoch was sharing as the motion of the sun and moon. As I began to read chapters 71-82, I found to my utter amazement that I was able to grasp those passages. I knew then that the vision that the angel Uriel had shown to Enoch could only be deciphered if one were to imagine Enoch's description of the revolution of the sun and the moon. As seen from above the flat circular plane of the earth as described by Isaiah; and that Enoch must have been taken up to perhaps where Polaris is, centered directly above the North Pole, and while looking down at the backdrop of the earth, was instructed on the motions of both the sun and moon. Without such conception, it is in my opinion impossible to apply these descriptions to the model of the earth as a spherical planet.
