The book is a defense of the flat earth theory, which asserts that the earth is not a globe but rather a flat disk.Rowbotham's book presents a range of arguments and evidence in support of the flat earth theory. He argues that the curvature of the earth cannot be observed, and that the earth appears to be flat when viewed from a distance. He also contends that the existence of gravity can be explained without invoking the concept of a spherical earth.The book was written during a time when the flat earth theory was still prevalent, and was part of a larger debate between flat earth advocates and those who accepted the more widely accepted spherical earth theory.While "Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe" is now considered to be a work of pseudoscience, it is still studied by historians and scholars as a reflection of the scientific beliefs and debates of the time. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of scientific thought and the ways in which scientific theories and beliefs have evolved over time.
