The Lunar Men

In the eighteenth century, a group of movers and shakers – a toy maker, a steam engine expert, a potter and an inventor – known as the Lunar Society of Birmingham – changed the face of England. They called themselves the 'lunaticks'. From the author of 'Hogarth', comes this vivid account of the friends who launched the industrial revolution – their politics, loves, friendships and love of knowledge that drove them to shape the modern age.
