After seeing the new film (which I didn't like) I found the book and with interest read about the life and legacy of a man who has been vilified in history. James Anderson obviously spent a considerable amount of time researching and gathering information.

My mission is to explain things in a simple way and have coupled this with my love of history and philosophy. This will bring out the ‘Oh it’s written like a high school paper’. Well thank you, that's how I can get these subjects out to everyone, not just the biography lovers or philosophers.

I will be writing about more subjects under the ‘Simply Explained’ banner and if you have a burning need to thoroughly understand a subject, let me know.
