Years later, after reinventing himself in New Zealand as a travelling science educator, he was feted by the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first full biography of Clement Wragge's rebellious and adventurous life - the strange story of a self-taught meteorologist from England's industrial Midlands, a 19th century scientist with 21st century anxieties. He trusted in physics perfected by a Creator and held profound fears for humanity, yet had an irrepressible faith in human ingenuity to overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.07 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47307737956537,"sku":"9780645694109","price":41.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/5Hjkbc41Ny9780645694109.webp?v=1780181426","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/rain-god-the-highs-and-lows-of-clement-wragge-meteorologist-with-a-mission-paperback","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
