One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe | Free Book
William Carpenter
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.
