520    In To Light Such a Candle, renowned chemist and science 
       historian Keith Laidler examines the progress of science 
       and technology over the centuries, tracing the often 
       separate paths of these pursuits, showing how they have 
       ultimately worked together to transform everyday life. 
       Faraday's pure research on electricity, for example, had 
       immense technological implications, while Maxwell's theory
       of electromagnetic radiation led directly to the discovery
       of radio transmission, something of which Maxwell himself 
       had no conception. Conversely, the early steam engines 
       were by no means science-based, but they led directly to 
       the science of thermodynamics, one of the most fundamental
       branches of pure science. Illuminated by many fascinating 
       stories from the history of science, this book provides a 
       powerful argument for the relevance of pure research, and 
       gives the general reader and scientist alike an idea of 
       the nature and importance of the links between science and
       technology.
