Bound by Shaun Nichols

Haven't seen it mentioned, apologies if I missed it: Shaun Nichols recently published an excellent new book that should be of great interest to everyone here: Bound: Essays on Free Will and Responsibility. Substantial portions of the material was published before, but Shaun brings everything together in a superb study, that has all the features one expects from Shaun's work: exhaustive knowledge of the relevant philosophical literature, deep probes into the results of an amazing range of psychological and experimental philosophy studies, and a thoughtful "counter-revolutionary" conclusion that is interesting and insightful and enlightening (even for those "revolutionaries" who are not quite convinced by it).

The Pacific APA Author-meets-Critics session with Vargas, Kane, and McCormick was excellent, as well.

A meant to add that Garrett Pendergraft was the chair, and organized the APA session. Good work, Garrett!

FYI, I'm hoping to get some discussion of Shaun's book going over on the X-Phi blog:
