Access Today The Radical Potter: Josiah Wedgwood And The Transformation Of Britain Engineered By Tristram Hunt Compiled As EText

This book about Josiah Wedgwood covers his career and the many people he deals with both socially and in business, The location in north Staffordshire is close to us and makes very interesting reading, I can fully recommend it if you are interested in ceramics, the Industrious/Industrial revolution and the shear dynamism of the principal characters.
an excellent read about an individual evolving from thrower, to geologist and scientist, to accountant entrepreneur,political player and Royal Society and Lunar man.
My partner found this a little dry to read despite his interest in ceramics, I really enjoyed this book one reviwer described it as 'unputdownable' quite an accurate description, What a remarkable man despite significant physical disability, endless energy and polymath arts from very limited beginning, highly recommended and I am only half way through the book,.shipping.
