WHEN THE EARTH WAS FLAT: ALL THE BITS OF SCIENCE WE GOT WRONG

Book ID/图书代码： 09220012B54058

English Summary/英文概要： This is the perfect gift for anyone with an interest in our scientific history, exposing the scientific theories that were once widely believed but have since been disproven. From such seemingly-crazy ideas as the body being made up of only four things - black and yellow bile, blood and phlegm - to the discovery of dinosaurs’ bones being widely accepted as the bones of giants killed in the great flood. "When the Earth Was Flat and Animals Magnetic" tells the fascinating story behind those scientific theories we once believed to be true, and shows how the way we view the world, and the way the world works, has changed completely throughout history.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果你对于人类社会科学历史有着浓厚的兴趣，那么本书对你而言将是最好的恩赐。书中揭示了大量人类曾经深信不疑，而最终又遭遇推翻的科学理论，从最初认为生命体由黑色和黄色的胆汁，血以及痰四种元素构成的疯狂理论，到后来将恐龙残骸误认为是死于大洪荒的巨人残骸，《那些年地球还是平的，动物们都拥有神奇的力量》讲述了那些我们曾经深信不疑的科学理论背后的精彩故事，并在字里行间教会我们如何看待世界，并认识到正是世界独特的运行方式彻底地改变了人类的历史。(DC)
