Publisher's Synopsis
David Williams has spent over 45 years in the world of academic medicine. He has been a professor of clinical engineering, pro-vice-chancellor, professor and director of international affairs, author of over 30 books and 400 scientific papers, editor of a world-renowned medical journal, lecturer, expert witness, key advisor and the founder of a Cape Town-based company dedicated to the development of technologies to treat children suffering from rheumatic heart disease. However, with his Welsh roots, David has increasingly felt compelled to express himself through poetry, rather than strictly scientific prose. In the last decade, he and his wife Peggy O'Donnell have lived in the UK, Belgium, the USA and South Africa and have travelled extensively in Asia, Africa and Australasia. Many of the rich observations and experiences afforded him by these travels form the subject matter of the poems collected in this, his first non-scientific book.
