About this book
In the 1760s a group of amateur experimenters met in the English Midlands. Blending science, art, and commerce, the Lunar Men changed the face of England. Uglow's vivid, exhilarating account uncovers the friendships, political passions, love affairs, and love of knowledge that drove these extraordinary men.
