However, over the years the contribution of the observatories and the highly intelligent and dedicated scientists who worked in them have been neglected and largely forgotten. This work aims to put the principles of the Jesuit order into scientific context, then outlines the career and contribution to meteorology of one individual in particular, Père Marc Dechevrens. He arrived at the Zi-ka-weï Observatory in Shanghai, China in 1873 and was its Director from 1875 until 1887. Later he came to Jersey where he was Director of the Maison St. Louis Observatory for the 30 years from 1894 until 1923. This work is a revised and much expanded version of an unpublished paper written in 2005.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Le Blancq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0901897914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780901897916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Societe Jersiaise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.22d","brand":"Frank Le Blancq","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120434213119,"sku":"9780901897916","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bd500c8-1408-40df-9689-e0f2dbdbaf7f.jpg?v=1687414290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesuit-meteorologists-forgotten-men-frank-le-blancq-9780901897916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
