James Clerk Maxwell's crucial contribution to the advancement of science was the development of the electromagnetic theory. ?Maxwell's equations? demonstrated that electricity, magnetism and light are all manifestations of the same phenomenon, the electromagnetic field. It ?changed the world for ever?, wrote Einstein, but Clerk Maxwell remained by all accounts a thoroughly nice man, modest and loving, until his death at 48.
