Description
The Earth Was Flat All the Bits of Science We Got Wrong by Graeme Donald Science has never been infallible. In fact, many of our current understanding of the world was once considered pseudoscience or downright incorrect. From the idea that reaching the horizon meant falling off into space to the notion that injecting monkey glands could cure ailments, science has a colourful past. In this entertaining and informative book, Graeme Donald examines the origins of some of the most extraordinary scientific theories of the past. He delves into the history of science, uncovering the misconceptions and misunderstandings that once shaped our understanding of the world. With a keen eye for detail and a engaging writing style, Donald takes readers on a journey through the evolution of scientific thought, revealing how our current understanding of the world was once considered radical and even laughable.
