Wonderfully entertaining and well-researched, Haunted Beauty invites the reader to enjoy and ponder the allure of a running theme in Western literature: the existence of ghosts. Weldon’s delightful coverage of aesthetics and apparitions give the book its charm and subtle attraction. Haunted Beauty is a rare gem for those interested in beauty and the beyond in letters...
Integrating philosophy and popular culture, Professor Weldon brings a lively and unique perspective to bear on some important reasons why our reaction to what “goes bump in the night” has evolved from a serious alert to danger into a popular and happy thrill.
Dr. Scott W. Marshall, Professor of Communication & Media Arts, University of St. Francis, IL.
With erudite and expansive treatment, Weldon engages key examples of ghost stories from the Western literary canon. His analysis explores how the universal qualities of aesthetics and humanity’s self-awareness allow the supernatural to retain its significant place in literature and everyday life. This book makes for a great companion for courses in the horror genre, or a delightful and engaging read for the avid horror fan.

Every individual who has ever lived, every individual
that lives, and every individual that will live in the
future is important and worthy of love and respect. This
is regardless of race, creed, religion, social class, or
any other social construction by which society
categorizes people.
Therefore, the voice of each individual is unique in and
of itself and worthy of praise. Statements and
Reflections: A Process in Philosophical Discourse is a
work that conveys the voice of one individual amidst
the many whose time has come to voice hope, love, and
encouragement to the world without prejudice.

In this original and scholarly book, Tim Weldon outlines
Saint-Exupery’s philosophy clearly and succinctly. Dr.
Weldon’s book is wonderfully accessible to academic and
general audiences alike. It is a true gift for the
millions who have been enchanted by Saint-Exupery’s
stories.
“Faring Homewards superbly blends poetic sensitivity
and literary history to bring the reader into a full
experience of the much-loved but little-known French
writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This contemplative
portrait is painted with a nuanced understanding of the
imaginative landscape of the author of The Little
Prince; a landscape shaped by the shifting sands of his
own historical moment as well as by the timeless truths
he embraced in his quest for meaning. Saint-Exupery’s
Catholic childhood and his affinity with Pascal say
more, according to Weldon, about the ethical and
aesthetic underpinnings of the artist’s thought and
work than critics to date have understood. Weldon’s
brief but important volume reveals a Saint-Exupery
who is far more than the writer of the world’s most
famous children’s story for adults; he becomes, in these
pages, a fellow sojourner in the encounter with the
infinite.”

A man shares his synthesis of ancient and quasi-empirical
thinking that helped him to become more open to receive
the grace that he needed to conquer the passions of the
flesh to return to God what belongs to Him.
The man utilizes scriptural verses, the wisdom of saints
and philosophers, and insightful illustrations to
empower and encourage the reader in the good fight to
conquer the passions of self; for the reward that God
gives to a person – for conquering the passions and
returning what belongs to Him – is nothing less than,
as St. Teresa of Avila said, the reward of Himself.
This book might be difficult for some people to read
due to its controversial content. Nevertheless, it is
an illuminating and thought-provoking read for people
who want to know God as Complete Goodness as well as
the man’s revelatory thoughts on: the Bible, the devil,
the fallen angels, creation and the afterlife.

The subject of creation is commonly regarded as an arena
of incompatibility between science and religion. This
book is an attempt to harmonize scientific theories
regarding the beginning of the universe and the
existence of living beings with the story of creation
revealed within the Bible.
The anecdotal approach employed in this book contains
accurate historical references, albeit melded with
distinguishably fictitious stories that intertwine
with the realities of our past to illustrate the drama
on which our narrative embarks.
This work is not in any way intended to compromise the
teaching of the Church for the sake of accommodating the
scientific theories of mankind. On the contrary, it is
the objective of this book, as previously stated,
through sound reasoning and the powerful and clear voice
of fiction, to show that both teachings could be equally
accepted.

The Moral Atheist argues in non-technical terms that
‘being moral’ is compatible with ‘being an atheist’, but
goes further to suggest that there is more harmony
between these two notions than there is between ‘being
moral’ and ‘being a theist’. Using reason, semantics and
common sense, Tomlinson makes the case that, first, the
non-existence of a god does not imply that there is no
discoverable objective morality and that, second,
without the belief in a god there are still excellent
reasons for the atheist and everyone else to strive to
be a good person. The book presents a practical and
objective ethical system that reflects how language is
used in everyday communication. Along the way the reader
explores important philosophical insights while gaining
an appreciation for the way that philosophy is actually
done.
Tomlinson has been an instructor of Philosophy at
California State University, Northridge for thirty-three
years.
