	The Lunar Men - Jenny Uglow
		The core is a group of five friends -- Matthew Boulton, Erasmus Darwin, Joseph Priestley, Josiah Wedgwood, James Watt -- who established a Lunar Society that met monthly (on or close to the full moon, to better find their way back home again afterwards).
		The Lunar men lived in remarkable times, too -- most of the book focusses on the second half of the 18th century, a time of great innovation (scientific and otherwise), burgeoning industrialization, and increasing consumerism.
		The paths of the central figures ultimately seem to tug in too many directions, and the Lunar Society itself isn't focussed on enough to lend the book the necessary cohesion.

		Their "Lunar Society" included Joseph Priestley, the chemist who isolated oxygen; James Watt, the Scottish inventor of the steam engine; and Josiah Wedgwood, whose manufacture of pottery created the industrial model for the next century.
		He also had a particular interest in the Lunar Men's project of the canal system, which was a focus for their technological and geological enthusiasms, as a way of getting raw materials to his factories and finished wares to London.
		The Lunar Men helped form their society in significant ways; Uglow is very good, however, in showing historic influences on them, and a reader will learn plenty here about the American and French Revolutions, as well as the Industrial one, and in science, the revolutionary schemes of Linnaeus and Lavoisier.
