#Zetetic astronomy book series#

In 1881 the author expanded and published this book, in part to meet public and scientific scrutiny. Rowbotham was already an inventor and author, and over time theories of Zetetic Astronomy - in which the Earth is flat - became popular. This book began as a pamphlet in the 1840s, explaining the theory with a few sketches alongside. This premium edition contains all of Rowbotham's original graphs, charts and drawings. Samuel Birley Rowbotham advances the Flat Earth theory, which holds that Earth is not in fact an oblate spheroid planet, but an enclosed plane above which the astronomical bodies are situated.

and much, much more! Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject. Its chapters include discussions of: The Adamic Creation, The Nebular Hypothesis: Examination of three Alleged Proofs of the WorldвЂ™s Globarity, The Horizontality of Land and Water Proved, The Sun, according to the Scriptures, The Deluge-Biblical Account, The Great Deep a Proof that the Earth is not a Planet. The text makes for an entertaining and informative read, providing a wonderful insight into the philosophy of a bygone age.
