Více o knize

Geographical knowledge in the Middle Ages reveals that Columbus and his peers understood the earth's shape accurately, contradicting the flat earth myth perpetuated by modern media and education. The book traces the origins of this misconception, highlighting its spread in the 1820s and 1830s, culminating in widespread acceptance by the late 19th century. It provocatively questions why society clings to this comfortable fallacy, offering an engaging exploration of the human tendency to resist confronting uncomfortable truths.
