For better or worse, they intend on being there to the very end.The very. Bitter. End.

Or will the demands of their bodies destroy the last of the Dick Dynasty?
This compelling first novel by David Michael is set during the turbulent 20s and 30s in the docks area of St. John's, Newfoundland. It is a love story of two people from totally different cultures - Lebanese Maronite Christian and Polish Jewish - trying to make their way. They had to use their wits and ingenuity to survive obstacles ranging from bigamy to fraud, and how they triumphed is told with a depth of skill and compassion that engages the reader from start to finish. David Michael has made a dramatic debut into Canadian Literature with this, the first book of a trilogy.The international best-selling author, Wayne Johnston, said that Love Will Out is "... a uniquely captivating love story of a sort I've never read before."

Nietzsche and Heidegger saw in modernity a time endangered by nihilism. Starting out from this interpretation, David Levin links the nihilism raging today in Western society and culture to our concrete historical experience with vision.
A unique collection of significant works of art from the whole of Ancient Greek civilization, spanning from 250,000 bce to the Common Era.
David Michael Levin's ongoing exploration of the moral character and enlightenment-potential of vision takes a new direction in The Philosopher's Gaze. Levin examines texts by Descartes, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Benjamin, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas, using our culturally dominant mode of perception and the philosophical discourse it has generated as the site for his critical reflections on the moral culture in which we are living. In Levin's view, all these philosophers attempted to understand, one way or another, the distinctive pathologies of the modern age. But every one also attempted to envision--if only through the faintest of traces, traces of mutual recognition, traces of another way of looking and seeing--the prospects for a radically different lifeworld. The world, after all, inevitably reflects back to us the character, the reach and range, of our vision. In these provocative essays, the author draws on the language of hermeneutical phenomenology and at the same time refines phenomenology itself as a method of working with our experience and thinking critically about the culture in which we live.
Both men and women devote time and effort to removing natural body odour and replacing it with sexual attractant odours derived from plants and animals - we seem to need to smell of something other than people! Yet of all the apes, we are the most richly endowed with scent producing glands. This book examines the sense of smell in humans, comparing it with the known functions of the same sense in other animals. Odorous cues play a role in sexual physiology and behaviour in animals and there are claims that odour can play the same role in humans. The place of odours and scents in aesthetics and in psychoanalysis serves to illustrate the link between the emotional centres and the brain. The book presents arguments to explain the way in which our ancestral past has given rise to our modern day olfactory enigmas. The material is presented with as much explanation of the technical detail as possible to make the book accessible to a wide readership.
