The History of England - Jane Austen - Bog - Read Books - Plusbog.dk

The History of England - Jane Austen - Bog - Read Books - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1791, The History of England is a refreshingly witty, classic account of England''s royal reigns from Henry IV through to Charles I. Written by Jane Austen aged 15, this is a topic she studied when she was a child. In this mischievous satire on school history books, Austen''s delightful juvinilia highlights her dry wit and advanced talent for writing. The History of England gives a humorous account of the country''s well-known kings and queens, and is complete with Austen''s original spelling quirks. Describing herself as a ''partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian'', Austen uses a light-hearted tone to parody the dry history books popularly seen in schools. This lively book mocks historians with outrageous characters and deliciously naughty intelligence. This satirical volume''s contents includes: 1) - Henry the 4th 1) - Henry the 5th 1) - Henry the 6th 1) - Edward the 4th 1) - Edward the 5th 1) - Richard the 3rd 1) - Henry the 7th 1) - Henry the 8th 1) - Edward the 6th 1) - Mary 1) - Elizabeth 1) - James the 1st 1) - Charles the 1st Proudly republished by Read & Co.

Zetetic Astronomy - Earth Not a Globe! An Experimental Inquiry into the True Figure of the Earth - Parallax - Bog - Read Books - Plusbog.dk

Zetetic Astronomy - Earth Not a Globe! An Experimental Inquiry into the True Figure of the Earth - Parallax - Bog - Read Books - Plusbog.dk

Zetetic Astronomy is a classic 1881 volume on Flat Earth theory that gives a fascinating introduction to zetetic astronomy and the work of Samuel Birley Rowbotham. What if the Earth isn''t a globe like we''ve been told? What if, instead, it is an enclosed plane surrounded by a wall of ice with the North Pole at its centre? Writing under the pseudonym of Parallax, Samuel Birley Rowbotham breaks down his alternative ideas and introduces zetetic astronomy in this 1865 treatise. This classic volume is a great introduction to Flat Earth theory and is sure to initiate many interesting conversations. Rowbotham disputes science by offering his own theories. He explores the idea that the Earth is flat and that below us is a layer of fire. The planets and stars that modern science state to be millions of kilometers and lightyears away are, according to Rowbotham, within just a few hundred miles of the Earth''s surface. Zetetic Astronomy is a faith-based science of cosmos and provides riveting explanations for Flat Earth thought. Incorporating his strong Christian beliefs with his evidence, Rowbotham argues that Heaven and Hell are in existence above and below our planet respectively. This high-quality volume features chapters such as: 1) - Introduction - Experiments proving the Earth to be a Plane 1) - The Earth no Axial or Orbital Motion 1) - The True Distance of the Sun and Stars 1) - The Sun moves in a Circle over the Earth, concentric with the North Pole 1) - Diameter of Sun''s path Constantly Changing 1) - Causes of Day and Night, Seasons, &c. 1) - Cause of ''Sun Rise'' and ''Sun Set'' Proudly republished by Obscure Press in this beautiful new edition, Zetetic Astronomy is a must-read for those with an interest in Flat Earth theory, and is not to be missed by vintage literature collectors.

Oliver Byrne's Elements of Euclid - Art Meets Science - Bog - Read Books - Plusbog.dk

Oliver Byrne's Elements of Euclid - Art Meets Science - Bog - Read Books - Plusbog.dk

In one of the most stunning expositions of mathematical publishing, Oliver Byrne combines Euclid''s geometric theories with vibrant colour proofs, turning what was already a cornerstone academic text into a pedagogical work of art. First published in 1847, Oliver Byrne''s Elements of Euclid is an innovative educational masterpiece. Uniquely beautiful in its presentation, Byrne''s edition was the first attempt to illustrate the classic books of mathematical theorems written by the ancient Greek mathematician, Euclid of Alexandria, in 300BC. Scattered across each page in brilliant reds, blues, and yellows are triangles, squares and circles combined in a myriad of combinations with intersecting lines and numbers. These intricate figures express the proofs of many of the iconic geometric equations that form the bedrock of mathematical study. This stunning example of numerical visual study greatly influenced the history of mathematics, with Euclid''s text being used in classrooms until the late nineteenth century. It has also proven to be an indispensable inspiration for following twentieth-century art movements, with avant-garde groups like De Stijl and The Bauhaus using Byrne''s iconic colour, line work and form in many of their works. Republished by Read & Co. Books for the Art Meets Science imprint, a facsimile edition of this legacy work has been painstakingly restored for a new generation to enjoy. Taking special care to conserve the colours, shapes and text as they were printed on publication in the hope to recapture the magic of this beautiful volume for future readers, both inside and outside of the classroom.
