This 3rd Edition of Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe was written in 1881 By Parallex, who was also known as Samuel Birley Rowbotham. This 2018 Edition Is Updated With A Brief History of the Flat Earth Theory, and Facebook and Website Resources. " - Wikipedia Although Written at the Turn of the Century, this Flat Earth Book is Very Relevant for Today. Various chapters concern motion of the heavenly bodies, sunrises, sunsets, the tidal movements, and distances of the Sun and Moon from Earth. Most of these are framed with illustrations and diagrams, that the reader understands Rowbotham's notions. Experiments and demonstrations are conducted in support of the Earth being flat, with the astronomical bodies situated above, rather than around it. 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.
