Description: The Book of the Damned by Charles Fort Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Considered to be the first of its kind, originally published in 1919, Charles Fort gives accounts of numerous unexplained phenomena, many of which would today be categorized as UFOs, anomalous weather and psychic phenomena, as well as, purports the concept and reasons why we have not made contact with aliens. Fort attempts, almost tongue in cheek, to construct a cosmology which could explain these phenomena. He proposes that the Earths gravity only extends about 20 miles out, and that there are vast lands in the sky passing above us, normally unseen. Some of these lands trap objects, --the super-Sargasso, --some are shaped like giant spindles or wheels, and others are huge sentient beings. If there is life in the universe, how come we arent visited by aliens? This is called the Fermi Paradox, proposed by Enrico Fermi in the 1950s. Fort gives a preemptive solution where he states, famously, I think were property. Forts solution is that earth was warred over in the distant past, and now is under the control of something--"all other warned off." The reason that we never meet our owners is that they have no interest in talking with their livestock. Author Biography Born in Albany, New York, in 1874, Charles Fort made the study of unexplained phenomena his lifeas work. After achieving modest success as a short-story writer and novelist, Fort began his work researching anomalous phenomena in the early 1920s, tirelessly cataloguing episodes of spontaneous combustion, spaceships, poltergeists, and other experiences and events that had been written off by science. A lasting influence on the evolution of science fiction as well as on science itself, Fort remains one of the most fascinating and polarizing figures in all of Americana. He died in 1932 in New York Details ISBN 1502544857 ISBN-13 9781502544858 Title The Book of the Damned Author Charles Fort Format Paperback Year 2014 Pages 266 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform GE_Item_ID:93334331; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
