Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Cloth hardcover, xiv + 180 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. VG untorn dust jacket. -- An influential work that explores the relationship between basic scientific research and technological innovation. The book introduces a framework, known as Pasteur's Quadrant, which categorises research efforts based on their quest for fundamental understanding and their relevance to practical problems. This model challenges the traditional distinction between pure and applied research by highlighting the work of Louis Pasteur as an example of research that serves both basic science and real-world applications. Stokes' quadrant model divides research into four categories: pure basic research, use-inspired basic research, pure applied research, and the often-overlooked overlap where scientific inquiry advances both knowledge and practical solutions. Through case studies and examples, Stokes argues that use-inspired research, exemplified by Pasteur, plays a crucial role in driving technological advancement while also expanding scientific knowledge. This work offers insights for policymakers, scientists, and innovators, showing that scientific breakthroughs and technological innovation can co-exist and be mutually beneficial. This book is a vital resource for understanding how modern science interacts with technology, addressing the need for research that both deepens theoretical knowledge and has practical relevance. It is a critical guide for researchers, academic institutions, and policy-makers who are interested in fostering innovation without compromising scientific integrity.
