General Discussion

I read pretty much all of his writings, and learned a great deal from them. He wrote about history in multiple volumes. He explained the Bible in detail. He wrote books targeting lay people on just about ever branch of science.

His genius was being able to explain complex concepts in relatively simple language. His logic always tracked smoothly and he was an expert at leading the reader along the path he wanted them to take to get to the information.

I think it was about when I turned 16 that I realized that I needed to study how he wrote, so I could try to emulate his long career. I never went as far, but I did follow his principles of story-telling. That worked for me to create a writing career that went across multiple topics. He has my thanks.
