DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo fanciful minds and theoretical speculators, the so-called ""science"" of modern astronomy furnishes a field, unsurpassed in any science for the unrestrained license of the imagination, and the building up of a complicated conjuration of absurdities such as to overawe the simpleton and make him gape with wonder; to deceive even those who truly believe their assumptions to be facts, and to ""make men doubt Divine Revelation with as little discrimination as they were formerly called upon to believe,"" If the reader will carefully follow and weigh the evidence in the following chapters, he cannot fail to be delivered from the thraldom of popular credulity and led to seek the truth himself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThomas Winship presents forty-one distinct arguments in support of the flat earth theory and the associated Zetetic astronomy. This book began life as a shorter pamphlet. It was only after significant popular interest that Mr. Winship decided to expand Zetetic Cosmogony into a lengthy, encompassing book. Drawing upon observations made by those working in science and the naval professions, Winship presents a series of points with the intention of verifying and proving that the earth is a flat plane rather than an oblate spheroid. Quoting dozens of distinct works and sources, the author is lively and passionate in advancing each of his points, voicing disdain for conventional astronomers as he goes. To some extent this book can be considered a summation of the Flat Earth Society's years of work to convince the world's scientific community and public. We encounter explanations of phenomena such as circumnavigation, oddities observed by sailors, the motions of the sun, moon and stars and even the construction of long-distance railways. The appendices include a number of testimonials, short essays plus poetry written by advocates of the flat earth theory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK2017 Reprint of 1899 Second Edition. Modern flat Earth hypotheses originated with the English writer Samuel Rowbotham (1816-1884). Based on conclusions derived from the Bedford Level experiment, Rowbotham published Zetetic Astronomy. He later expanded into a book Earth Not a Globe, proposing the Earth is a flat disc centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, Antarctica, with the Sun and Moon 3,000 miles and the "cosmos" 3,100 miles above Earth. He also published a leaflet titled "The Inconsistency of Modern Astronomy and its Opposition to the Scriptures!!," which argued that the Bible, alongside our senses, supported the idea that the earth was flat and immovable and this essential truth should not be set aside for a system based solely on human conjecture. Rowbotham and followers like T. Winship [Rectangle] gained attention in debates with leading scientists such as Alfred Russel Wallace. Rowbotham created a Zetetic Society in England and New York, shipping over a thousand copies of Zetetic Astronomy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKContrary 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.
