Testing Truths by Dudley Williams

Testing Truths by Dudley Williams

This book is a brief view of what has come to be over a period of 13.7 billion years; one not simply, collectively, and consequentially previously told. In the language of yesteryear, it takes us from bang to man; or in that of today, from forces to females. It briefly summarises the evidence that answers the child's question how did people get here? But more importantly, on the basis of this, and other, evidence, it then strives to answer their further question why do people do that? The answers challenge adults and, looking at the world's problems, are of supreme importance - for the vast majority of the world's populace are either unaware of, or do not accept, many fundamental evidence-based truths. It is to them that Testing Truths is addressed.

Dudley Williams was Professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He pioneered a significant understanding of Mass Spectrometry and was fascinated by the application of NMR spectroscopy for chemical structural elucidation. He applied both techniques in solving the structure of Vancomycin which became an important antibiotic used against the superbug MRSA. This book is a brief and simple description of the rules that have controlled evolution together with his own philosophical emphasis. He was an avid reader, had a great love of music, and was an accomplished pianist.
