This is part II of "Is The Earth a Whirling Globe?", first published in 1918. Within this volume, the author takes a look at contemporary theoretical astronomy with reference to the shape of the world, claiming and trying to prove that the world is in fact not a globe. With reference to contemporary as well as historical astronomers and others, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in the development of astronomical theories as well as "flat earth theory". Contents include: "Perspective, True and False", "Ships Climbing, Both Ways", "Still Mounting Upwards", "Curvature, of Dip", "The Three Poles Trick", "Circumnavigation", "The Earth's Supposed Elliptical Orbit", "Cycloidal Curves", "The Sun's Size", "The Sun's Distance, and Focussed Image", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume today in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on architecture.
