In 2005, Flow of History continued the practice of combining lectures by experts in the field, text-based discussions of an important book on the topic, and hands-on workshops with primary sources that make connections from our local topics to the national story. We launched our 2005 theme of Economic and Technological Change by tailoring the study of the Industrial Revolution to several specific industries along the River. Our core text was "Reflections in Bullough's Pond" by Diana Muir.
