I wanted to find out what it was from the horse&rsquo;s mouth, and nowhere produces horses better than London&rsquo;s universities, so that is where I decided to get my information. I&rsquo;ve read quite a few books from the &ldquo;Very Short Introduction&rdquo; series and have yet to be disappointed; this was no exception. Since I am from the west most of my understanding will be filtered from that worldview.</p>
