Well, I do read subject lines, but I file by authors, and that info wasn't
in the subject line. In any event I didn't find it, so I downloaded it from
BookShare. There is, as noted, a lot of Greek and German, just as there
footnotes in other languages in many books. I cannot validate those, but I
am willing to bet that they are not validated in other books either, or we
would all have to be translators. Actually, after you get past the
introduction, there are many fewer words of that type. The English of the
book is excellent, and I think a reader could understand the book. Equally
important, as nearly as I can tell there are no books by Heidegger on the
system, or NLS. I have recommended the book for approval, but I can
certainly survive the shock of having it rejected. Yes, I have a Doctorate;
I made the mistake of not dropping it when I first went on the web. The
degree is in education and I was a teacher, later a professor, then an
administrator. And, most important of all, I know maybe as many as
twenty-five Greek words. By the way, I think you do a super job.

Ah, Kenneth. I can see you don't read subject headings--smile.
The title is Early Greek Thinking: The Dawn of Western Philosophy, and the author is Martin Heidegger. That's probably why there's so much German in the book, also.
I know people have addressed you as Dr. Cross. Are you a professor? A philosophy professor? My nephew almost has his master's in philosophy; he needs to pass a langauge exam, but it is't in Greek. smile
