Produktinformationen "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe"

William Carpenter's One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe is a polemical catalogue of arguments advanced in defense of nineteenth-century "zetetic" flat-earth belief. Organized as brief numbered proofs, the book combines observational claims, scriptural echoes, and attacks on astronomical authority. Its style is combative, aphoristic, and pamphleteering, belonging less to scientific treatise than to Victorian popular controversy, where religion, empiricism, and distrust of institutions frequently collided. Carpenter, an English-born printer, lecturer, and controversialist active in Britain and the United States, wrote within a milieu shaped by Samuel Rowbotham's zetetic astronomy and by broader anxieties over modern science. His background in public argument and print culture helped produce a work designed for persuasion rather than technical demonstration. The book reflects both his confidence in unaided sensory evidence and his resistance to the professionalization of scientific knowledge. This volume is recommended not as a reliable account of the Earth's shape, but as a revealing historical document. Readers interested in pseudoscience, rhetoric, Victorian dissent, or the cultural history of astronomy will find it especially valuable. It illuminates how alternative cosmologies are constructed, circulated, and defended with remarkable persistence.
