Available Copies Details Synopsis

In the 1760s a group of amateur experimenters met and made friends in the English Midlands. Among them were toymaker Matthew Boulton and his partner James Watt, of steam-engine fame, the potter Josiah Wedgwood and Erasmus Darwin, physician, poet, inventor and theorist of evolution (a forerunner of his grandson Charles). Later came Joseph Priestley, discoverer of oxygen. With a small band of allies - the chemist James Keir, the doctors William Small and William Withering and Richard Lovell Edgeworth and Thomas Day, they formed the Lunar society of Birmingham, and kick-started the Industrial Revolution.
