I look for his stuff every time I visit a bookstore in a Canadian city, because his stuff is hard to get in the States. If you like history, it's largely good, although the second volume of his history of the War of 1812 is way better than that.

I'm getting tired up here on the barricades. :) /me climbs up on the barricade with Lori Amen Lori. I get really tired of the Religious Right going on and on about those godless Secular Humanists . Humanism has nothing to do with Atheism. It is about people not God. I think the Religious Right attacks us because we make so much sense. That frightens them because of their agenda to limit and control humanity in the name of their supposed "Morality". They talk about Humanism as if it is some kind of evil movement when in fact it is the ultimate in respect and understanding. To attack us thus is a truly UN-Christian thing to do, and it always leaves me wondering who in the equation is truly evil. A.J. - -- See Maria Louise in all her... erm... Glory?
