A Search for Meaning is a spiritual search as well as an intellectual one. It has a special charm in that it is both sober and light-hearted and handles scholarly subjects through a perspective that demystifies the mysteries and expands the realities of human existence, and does so in an intensely personal interaction with the reader as it stretches and presses toward a wedding of scientific and mystical thought.

Don employs both prose and poetry, logic and fancy, in exploring and reviewing the knowledge of mankind. He dramatically investigates the sciences, religions and philosophies with a view toward dignifying the human experience and provides a frame work in which the individual reader may validate his/her own life and dreams relating to the whole.

Although Don did not come draped with academic honors or letters, his extensive background in science and communications as a telegrapher, aerospace engineer, metaphysical scholar, and author, gave him the ability to take a reader very far beyond themselves, whether it be in fiction or in nonfiction.

For those who wish to be challenged by innovative thinking and daring ideas-reaching with their minds to coax out an understanding of the world as well as the meaning of their own lives-will find this book evocative, conclusions satisfying for the rationalist, inspiring, perhaps even transformative, for the true seeker.

"Don Pendleton was not only a writer with a strong sense of how to use
language, but he was also an interdisciplinarian whose interests are
far-ranging. A SEARCH FOR MEANING is nothing less than an attempt to
synthesize metaphysics and physics. Yet, the tenor of the book invites a
broad audience to read, to think about, to puzzle over the many questions he
asks in his quest to understand the meaning of ‘meaning.' Integrating many
domains of knowledge, Pendleton touches on questions of religion, God,
relativity, and brain research, among other fields...all in all, this book
is a must-read for a general audience."
