Don Pendleton
Title:
A Search for Meaning from the Surface of a Small Planet
Category/genre: Philosophy/Science
Publisher:
Mystic- Ink
Description:
Don Pendleton has put together an inspirational and dramatic exploration of the sciences, religions, and philosophies of mankind, employing both prose and poetry. His approach is both sober and lighthearted, sometimes awed and sometimes irreverent (toward science and religion), but intensely rational, stretching and pressing toward a wedding of scientific understanding and mystical thought.
Bio:
Don Pendleton (1927-1995) published more than 125 print books in his long career. A former aerospace engineer, a metaphysical scholar throughout his life, novelist and nonfiction author, he had strong interests in the sciences and metaphysics. His writings, both fiction and nonfiction, have had a metaphysical flavor. He considered his internationally popular Executioner series of action/adventure novels to be a study in the metaphysics of violence.
