"Gairdner has taken the torch from William F. Buckley's failing hands and lifted it high with his new work ... an objective reader is left wondering how relativism ever got a toehold in the popular imagination in the first place." The Calgary Herald "Strikingly original and important." Tom Flanagan, University of Calgary "Gairdner's intellectual range and control his material is breathtaking ... almost no one writing today has the command of the literature in as many disciplines as this author has." Ian Gentles, York University
