From pseudoscience to incorrect assumptions and unfounded belief, science hasn't always been right. Contrary to recent debate on the internet, nowadays we are fairly confident that the earth is not flat and that we are in fact inhabitants of a spherical planet. However, this was not always the case, with a widespread belief that if you reached the horizon, you would simply fall off into space. Along with assumptions about the health benefits of heroin, the advantages of injecting monkey glands into the human body and bumps on your head being indicators of personality and temperament, science has a colourful past. In this entertaining and informative look at a dubious history, Graeme Donald examines the origins of some of the most extraordinary and mind-boggling scientific theories of the past.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: New. NEW! Collects many of the now absurd scientific facts of days gone by, like the Earth being flat. Ah, the pseudoscience has only progressed since way back then. Did you know how healthy heroin can be? Should you slit the gums of a babe to allow the teeth to come out faster? Only if you can apply soothing cocaine to ease the pain. Go to the barber to have him draw a pint of blood to remove vile humours? Fascinating read, makes you look at what we believe now more closely. Codice articolo 001285

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An entertaining yet authoritative exploration of colourful scientific theories once thought to have been true, but which have since been disproved. Discover why Queen Victoria guzzled a tincture of opium on her physician's advice; how reluctance to accept the idea of germ theory led to murder; and why Catholic explorers concocted the myth that South American tribes indulged in cannibalism. This fascinating guide features ideas that now seem more crazy than credible, from the human body being made up of only four humours - black and yellow bile, blood and phlegm - to the discovery of the so-called 'missing link' in the evolutionary chain. When the Earth Was Flat tells the intriguing stories behind those scientific theories we once believed to be true, and shows how the way we view the world, and the way we think the world works, has changed completely throughout history.
