Ian T. Taylor was employed for more than twenty years as a research metallurgist in the laboratories of one of North America's corporate giants. He obtained patents for high-strength weldable alloys, armor plate, and a novel process for the manufacture of heat exchangers. Following a conversion experience, he spent five years in Christian television production where he became producer-writer for a science documentary series broadcast throughout the U.S. and Canada. His first book, In the Minds of Men, was issued in 1984 and has since become a recognized classic in its field; it has gone into four editions with eight reprints. In 1996 he became director and voice of the daily radio program, Creation Moments. In 2002 he completed another book titled Better to Bury Than to Burn. Styled after In the Minds of Men with copious documentation and illustration, this smaller work exposes the growing practice of cremation.
