“I always read that the world, land and water, was
spherical... Now I observed so much divergence, that
I began to hold different views about the world and
I found it was not round…. but pear shaped, round
except where it has a nipple, for there it is taller, or
as one had a round ball and, on one side, it should
be like a woman’s breast, and this nipple part is the
highest and closest to Heaven….” - Kenneth C. Davis
New York Times Best Seller “Don’t know much
about Geography” Permissions Department, William
Morrow and Company, New York, NY, 1992.
Comments
• Thank “Heaven”, Prof. Davis did
not include any illustration(s).
• It is astonishing that this book got
printed and became a best seller.
When the science of Geography would
adopt the EXACT shape and size, as
determined by the science of Geodesy?
