This excellent and detailed volume by Wisnewski devotes chapters 2-7 to a very careful and philosophically reliable analysis of Being and Time. Only in chapter 8 does the book turn to the later Heidegger. Throughout the focus is on Being and Time. The book has wonderful sections on secondary works on Being and Time, secondary works on the later Heidegger, collections of Heidegger's essays, works influenced by Heidegger, and lists of Heidegger's writings on ancient philosophy, art, ethics, politics, religion, technology, and truth. Appendixes feature common Greek and common Latin terms in Being and Time. This is an excellent book for those who are beginning their study of Heidegger. Wisnewski is the editor of the Review Journal of Political Philosophy and the author of a number of books, including Understanding Torture. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates; general readers.
