Now available in paperback, "The Globe" delves into humanity's journey to comprehend Earth's true form. The concept of a spherical Earth was understood by ancient Greek philosophers as early as the fourth century BCE and this understanding spread through civilizations like Rome, India, and Central Asia. Contrary to common belief, the Catholic Church accepted a round Earth long before Columbus's time, although it took until the seventeenth century for Jesuit missionaries to successfully convince the Chinese to move away from their square-earth theory. By challenging preconceived notions about intellectual history, "The Globe" suggests that acknowledging Earth's spherical nature marked humanity's inaugural significant scientific achievement. The book compellingly discusses how this revelation transformed global viewpoints over the centuries.
