-The '''Lunar Society''' was a private club of [[scientists]], [[industrialist]]s, [[philosopher]]s and [[free thinker]]s that met in [[Birmingham]], [[England]], between 1765 and 1813. They met once a month on the full moon, hence their name, and they jokingly called themselves 'lunatics'. Membership included among others:
