The Shape of the World is a book written by Evelyn St. Leger in 1911. The book explores the concept of the shape of the Earth and the various theories that have been proposed throughout history. It delves into the scientific, philosophical, and religious beliefs that have shaped our understanding of the world's shape, including the ancient belief in a flat Earth, the spherical model proposed by Aristotle and Ptolemy, and the modern understanding of the Earth's oblate spheroid shape. The book also discusses the impact of these beliefs on human culture and society, including the role of navigation and exploration, the development of astronomy and cartography, and the influence of religious doctrine. Overall, The Shape of the World provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of one of the most fundamental questions in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
