What if the grand story of astronomy, from the Caesars to the telescopes of the twentieth century, rested on a single mistaken assumption? Kings Dethroned is a fearless history of astronomy book that turns accepted wisdom on its head, arguing that centuries of calculation and theory grew from an error made in the second century B.C. The stakes are truly cosmic. Moving from the Roman Empire to modern astronomy, Gerrard Hickson challenges renowned authorities, exposes what he sees as blunders in modern astronomy, and advances uncompromising geocentric universe theories as an alternative to the celestial order taught in universities. First published in the early twentieth century, this vintage science critique stands at the crossroads of science and dissent, a scientific heresy classic born amid the early 1900s cosmology debate. Hickson retraces the evolution of astronomical ideas from ancient star catalogues through the Renaissance to his own age, offering an intense critique of copernican theory and the mathematical methods that supported it. As a classic controversial science book, it offers rich primary material for history of science students, and an intriguing challenge for alternative science readers who question orthodoxy while valuing passionate, line-by-line argument. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
