I've been (very slowly, in between novel-reading) reading The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic generation discovered the beauty and terror or science, by Richard Holmes, which won the Royal Society's popular science prize this year. It reminded me a bit of The Lunar Men, but with less machinery and a generation on. You might find it worth a look, if you haven't read it already.
