William Gairdner, PhD, is a former Olympic athlete, businessman, and author living near Toronto. He began publishing serious essays and books on political and moral philosophy in mid-life, and among his many bestsellers -- books that have profoundly enriched national dialogue and discussion -- are The Trouble With Canada, The War Against the Family, Canada's Founding Debates, The Book of Absolutes, and The Great Divide: Why Liberals and Conservatives Will Never, Ever Agree. Then at 80, just when he was thinking about retirement, he was asked to write columns for The Epoch Times newspaper. Stirred by the newspaper's motto, "Truth and Tradition," he jumped in and produced more than two dozen sparkling, insightful pieces that are collected and reproduced in Beyond the Rhetoric. Readers will be treated to penetrating and insightful commentary on a wide range of topics germane to the larger question of how we ought to live, as individuals, and as a nation.

Autorenporträt
As a young athlete, Bill competed for Canada in the decathlon at the Pan-Am Games in Brazil (1963) and at the Olympic Games in Tokyo (1964), and then in two Commonwealth Games (Jamaica, 1966 and Scotland, 1970) in the 400 metre hurdles event. After earning a number of higher degrees, including a Doctorate in Literature and Philosophy from Stanford University, he taught at York University in Toronto, and then decided to pursue a career in business, from which he retired in 1988 to devote his time to writing. Beginning in 1990 and in quick succession, he produced a string of bestselling books, including The Trouble With Canada, and The War Against The Family. He was then the managing editor of Canada's Founding Debates - now an historical landmark. On the heels of that he published The Trouble With Democracy and also The Book of Absolutes. And now, looking back over twenty years, we have The Trouble With Canada ... Still! His most recent political work is The Great Divide: Why Liberals and Conservatives Will Never, Ever Agree (2015), a timely analysis of the underlying ideological stresses and strains that are presently producing so much political disagreement and policy conflict on the surface of everyday life. At this crucial time in our history, William Gairdner presents fresh and bold insights helping readers understand the successes and strains in their midst and in Western civilization as a whole.
