The Shape and the Earth
This book describes in detail the various theories on the shape the Earth from classical antiquity to the present day and examines how measurements its form and dimensions have evolved throughout this period. The origins the notion the sphericity the Earth are explained, dating back to Eratosthenes and beyond, and detailed attention is paid to the struggle to establish key discoveries as part the cultural heritage humanity. In this context, the roles played by the Catholic Church and the philosophers the Middle Ages are scrutinized. Later contributions by such luminaries as Richer, Newton, Clairaut, Maupertuis, and Delambre are thoroughly reviewed, with exploration the importance mathematics in their geodetic enterprises. The culmination progress in scientific research is the recognition that the reference figure is not a sphere but rather a geoid and that the earths shape is oblate. Today, satellite geodesy permits the solution geodetic problemsby means precise measurements. Narrating this fascinating story from the very beginning not only casts light on our emerging understanding the figure the Earth but also offers profound insights into the broader evolution human thought.
