Sinopse

In "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe," William Carpenter presents a compelling yet controversial argument against the widely accepted heliocentric model of the Earth. Utilizing a blend of scientific reasoning and rhetorical persuasion, Carpenter meticulously outlines a series of proofs intended to validate his flat Earth theory. Written in a polemical style, the book draws upon a range of observations and experiments that Carpenter interprets through a critical lens of skepticism towards mainstream science, thereby situating itself within the 19th-century debates on geology, astronomy, and scientific authority. William Carpenter, an English writer and anti-establishment thinker, was inspired to challenge prevailing scientific paradigms based on his own observations and frustrations with established cosmology. His background in literature and a burgeoning interest in controversial theories of his time inform the depth of his arguments. Carpenter's work reflects an era marked by rapid scientific advancement, and his rejection of scientific consensus illustrates his commitment to a contrarian viewpoint, one that resonated with certain segments of society seeking alternatives to orthodoxy. This book is recommended for readers interested in the history of scientific debate and the cultural implications of disproven theories. Carpenter's bold assertions invite critical engagement and encourage readers to examine the validity of scientific claims. Whether approached as a historical artifact or a philosophical challenge, "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe" offers a fascinating glimpse into a world where the boundaries of scientific inquiry were tested.

    'Unlike me, the Atlantic wild salmon does not have a voice, so it cannot tell the story of why and how it has been driven to the point of extinction.'
    Once, the River Shannon was teeming with wild salmon swimming upstream. But when the enormous hydro-electric station at Ardnacrusha was built in 1929, what began as the Free State's crowning achievement would have a devastating impact on the environment.
    In this evocative and thought-provoking memoir, Patsy Peril recalls a life deeply entwined with Irish wildlife and embedded in the history of modern Ireland. From a childhood spent on the water to a national conservation campaign, Patsy has a lifetime of knowledge to share about the wild Atlantic salmon – and a plan to save it.

    Anderson served as third officer aboard the Eamont. Eamont was an opium clipper built in Cowes. Eamont was involved in the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1858, serving as a dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai, and was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa. The Eamont was employed in the negotiations for the first commercial treaty with Japan. On this occasion she ran into Nagasaki and quietly dropped anchor, in spite of the fact that opposition to the proposed commercial treaty was very strong at the time. On the following morning 150 boat-loads of Japanese attempted to tow her to sea, being evidently ignorant of an anchor's raison d'etre. But though they attempted several similar methods to get rid of her they refrained from any armed attack, and, eventually, her mission was completely successful. This was in 1858, and the Eamont's crew saw many wonderful sights in that tierra incognita. The September Typhoon of 1858 destroyed several well-known opium clippers at Double Island, including the Anonyma, Gazelle, Pantaloon, and Mazeppa. Eamont was anchored off Double Island, with "150 fathoms of chain out and a second anchor backed on it at 60 fathoms." The waves in the anchorage were estimated to be as large as 40 feet, and the Eamont’s crew had to cut away her masts. Eamont was one of only two ships in that anchorage to survive the night, the other being the Hazard. (See Wikipedia article on Eamont (schooner)) ( wikipedia and david wales)
