William Carpenter lines up a hundred arguments that the earth is flat, and means every one. This notorious nineteenth-century tract is a curiosity of stubborn reasoning, complete with letters from the astronomers he tried to convert. A window into how conviction can outrun evidence. Read the case history of a spectacularly wrong idea.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
