Publisher's Synopsis
The Earth Not a Globe is a book written by Parallax, a pseudonym for Samuel Birley Rowbotham, a 19th-century English writer and inventor. The book aims to prove that the Earth is not a globe but a flat disc, and it challenges the prevailing scientific belief at the time that the Earth was round.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which presents evidence and arguments to support the idea that the Earth is flat. Parallax argues that the curvature of the Earth is not visible to the naked eye and that all evidence for a round Earth is based on flawed assumptions and measurements. He also claims that the Bible supports the idea of a flat Earth and that the scientific community has conspired to suppress this truth.The Earth Not a Globe was first published in 1865 and quickly gained a following among flat Earth believers. It has since become a classic of the flat Earth movement and has been reprinted many times. Despite being widely debunked by the scientific community, the book continues to influence some people who reject the idea of a round Earth.1881.
