Join us on Monday, March 10th, at 4:00 PM in E51-275 for a special talk by Professor Dave Mindell on his new book: The New Lunar Society.

The New Lunar Society

Climate change, global disruption, and labor scarcity are forcing us to rethink the underlying principles of industrial society. In The New Lunar Society, David Mindell envisions this new industrialism from the fundamentals, drawing on the eighteenth century when first principles were formed at the founding of the Industrial Revolution. While outlining the new industrialism, he tells the story of the Lunar Society, a group of engineers, scientists, and industrialists who came together to apply the principles of the Enlightenment to industrial processes. Those principles were collaboration, the marriage of practice and scientific knowledge, and the belief that the world could progress through making things.
