Set in Edwardian London, an era of seÌances, science, and fog, and on the stormy coasts of Cornwall, Cape Cod, and Nova Scotia, Thunderstruck evokes the dynamism of those years when great shipping companies competed to build the biggest, fastest ocean liners, scientific advances dazzled the public with visions of a world transformed, and the rich outdid one another with ostentatious displays of wealth. Against this background, Marconi races against incredible odds and relentless skepticism to perfect his invention: the wireless, a prime catalyst for the emergence of the world we know today. Meanwhile, Crippen, "the kindest of men," nearly commits the perfect crime.--From publisher description 600 10 $a Crippen, Hawley Harvey, $d 1862-1910. 600 10 $a Marconi, Guglielmo, $d 1874-1937. 650 0 $a Murderers $z London $z London $v Biography. 650 0 $a Murder $z London $z London $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Great Britain $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Inventors $z Italy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Telegraph, Wireless $x History. $x History. 650 1 $a Inventors $v Biography. 650 1 $a Inventors $z Italy $v Biography. 600 17 $a Crippen, Hawley Harvey, $d 1862-1910. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00125261 600 17 $a Marconi, Guglielmo, $d 1874-1937. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01860847 650 7 $a Inventors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978052 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029788 650 7 $a Murderers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029821 650 7 $a Telegraph, Wireless $x Marconi system. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146187 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 600 17 $a Crippen, Hawley Harvey, $d 1862-1910. $2 sears 650 7 $a MoÌrdare $z London $z London $v biografi. $2 sao 650 7 $a Uppfinnare $z Italien $v biografi. $2 sao 650 7 $a Radioteknik $x historia. $2 sao 650 7 $a Telekommunikation $x historia. $2 sao 650 7 $a Nobelpristagare $x fysik. $2 sao 650 7 $a Homicide $z London (England) $v Case studies. $2 sears 650 7 $a Murderers $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Homicide $z Great Britain $v Case studies. $2 sears 650 7 $a Telegraph $x History. $2 sears 655 7 $a Creative nonfiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919909 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Larson, Erik. $t Thunderstruck. $b 1st ed. $d New York : Crown Publishers, ©2006 $w (OCoLC)654787691 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2006011908-s.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0612/2006011908.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=017718706&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0664/2006011908-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0664/2006011908-d.html 856 42 $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=1400080665 $z Additional information at Google Books 941 $a 3 $n 1 952 $l ZAPB232 $d 20220819082158.0 $n 10 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20210907164848.0 $n 10 $p 1 audio also available 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20210614101357.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=324AA8EAAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
