{"product_id":"one-hundred-proofs-that-the-william-carpenter-9781721541546","title":"One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is not a Globe","description":"One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is not a Globe by William Carpenter. William Carpenter (25 February 1830 - 1 September 1896) was an English printer and author, and a proponent of the flat Earth theory, active in England and the United States in the nineteenth century. Carpenter immigrated to the United States and continued his advocacy of the Flat Earth movement. Surveyors' operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals are conducted without the slightest \"allowance\" being made for \"curvature,\" although it is taught that this so-called allowance is absolutely necessary  This is a cutting proof that Earth is not a globe. There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet-notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's \"convexity.\" It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1721541543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781721541546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.10d","brand":"William Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986329796863,"sku":"9781721541546","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afdc9ec3-bfb3-41b3-aeec-d450e1c7f1ca.jpg?v=1683282721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-hundred-proofs-that-the-william-carpenter-9781721541546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
