Many academics either spend too much energy on substantiating their methods or lack a way to connect their work to the real world. On the other end of the spectrum, you have flavor of the month writers with catchy phrases that seem to relate to the real world problems you are facing but have no substance behind them. In Samuel, you have someone who brings the best of both worlds.Andy Doyle
