The result is not a conventional work of astronomy, nor a simple book of occult speculation, but a sustained challenge to intellectual complacency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFort's method is deliberately unsettling. He piles up contradictions, absurdities, newspaper reports, scientific embarrassments, rejected observations, and speculative possibilities until the boundaries between satire, scepticism, and genuine paranormal inquiry begin to blur. \u003cem\u003eNew Lands\u003c\/em\u003e belongs naturally beside works of occultism, anomalous phenomena, Fortean studies, UFO history, fringe science, and early twentieth-century challenges to scientific orthodoxy. For readers interested in the supernatural and unexplained, hidden histories of science, astronomy's stranger margins, and the origins of modern Fortean thought, this remains one of Fort's essential books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 08, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43422945607747,"sku":"9781604591262","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/4399\/2899\/files\/JEHf1uVmQB9781604591262.webp?v=1781703971","url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/new-lands-a-fortean-classic-of-anomalous-astronomy-unexplained-phenomena-and-scientific-doubt-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
