The people who lived at Brant''s Ford, or in the countryside around it, have made a considerable contribution to Canadian history. Since Joseph Brant first established himself and the Indians of the Six Nations, there in 1784, the region has been affected by, and has reacted to, great events in Europe and North America, and in the process has grown from a precarious pioneer settlement to a well-developed agricultural and industrial society. This book is an account of nearly two centuries of economic and social change in the Brant area. The author records the effects of these changes on Indian and non-Indian alike and relates them to developments in Ontario and the rest of Canada. He gives much attention to such notables as Joseph Brant himself, Hiram ''King'' Capron (the founder of the town of Paris), George Brown, the politician-turned-farmer, and his ''agricultural factory'', Alexander Graham Bell, Pauline Johnson, Sara Jeannette Duncan, and to such industrial and philanthropic families as the Veritys and the Cockshutts. This book is published under the auspices of the Ontario Historical Society. It is one that everyone interested in Canadian history will want to read.

"Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant," Charles Murray writes. "For them, I think I have a story worth telling." Taking Religion Seriously is Murray''s autobiographical account of a decades-long evolution in his stance toward the idea of God in general and Christianity specifically. He argues that religion is something that can be approached as an intellectual exercise. His account moves from the improbable physics of the Big Bang to recent discoveries about the nature of consciousness; from evolutionary psychology to hypotheses about a universal Moral Law. His exploration of Christianity delves into the authorship of the Gospels, the reliability of the texts that survive, and the scholarship surrounding the Resurrection story. Murray, the author of Coming Apart and coauthor of The Bell Curve, does not write as an expert. "If you are taking religion seriously for the first time, you face the same problem I did: We are forced to decide what we make of a wide variety of topics that we do not have the option of mastering." He offers his personal example of how the process works. "Maybe God needs a way to reach over-educated agnostics and that''s what I stumbled into," he writes. "It''s a more arid process than divine revelation but it has been rewarding. And, if you''re like me, it''s the only game in town.""
