"As is well known, following Heidegger's pathways of thinking (Denkwege) is not always easy. To the untrained reader he appears to meander aimlessly, moving from one idea to the next and circling back as if lost. In order to get us thinking, or to think through a question with him, Heidegger offers us only signposts, Wegmarken, along the way, like the ones we might find along the trails surrounding his writing hut in the Black Forest. Nicholson enables the reader to navigate Heidegger's path by leaving a more discernible trail of white pebbles." - Rodney K. Parker (Science et Esprit) "Heidegger on Truth: Its Essence and Is Fate is a very welcome addition to Heidegger studies."- Daniel Regnier, University of Saskatchewan (Phenomenological Reviews)
