- a devious but down-home politico
- has a special request one Joe knows he can't refuse. For weeks the headlines have been abuzz with the story of Clay Mc Cann a lawyer who slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone. After the murders Mc Cann immediately turned himself in at the nearest ranger station. Seemed like a slam-dunk case for law enforcement

Governor Rulon sensitive to the rising tide of public outrage wants his own investigation into the murders & will reinstate Joe as a game warden if he'll go to Yellowstone without portfolio A to investigate.

- something tremendously lucrative & unusually dangerous. As Joe & his partner Nate Romanowski search for the key to the murders they discover that it may be hidden in the rugged terrain of the park itself."

The physiologist Benjamin Libet famously demonstrated that activity in the brains motor regions can be detected some 300 milliseconds before a person feels that he has decided to move. Another lab recently used f MRI data to show that some conscious" decisions can be predicted up to 10 seconds before they enter awareness (long before the preparatory motor activity detected by Libet). Clearly findings of this kind are difficult to reconcile with the sense that one is the conscious source of ones actions. The question of free will is no mere curio of philosophy seminars. A belief in free will underwrites both the religious notion of "sin" & our enduring commitment to retributive justice. The Supreme Court has called free will a "universal & persistent" foundation for our system of law. Any scientific developments that threatened our notion of free will would seem to put the ethics of punishing people for their bad behaviour in question. In Free Will Harris debates these ideas & asks whether or not given what brain science is telling us we actually have free will?" ...

In Free Will: The Basics readers are provided with a clear & accessible introduction to this central but challenging philosophical problem. The questions which are discussed include: Does free will exist? Or is it illusory? Can we be free even if everything is determined by a chain of causes? If our actions are not determined does this mean they are just random or a matter of luck? In order to have the kind of freedom required for moral responsibility must we have alternatives? What can recent developments in science tell us about the existence of free will? Because these questions are discussed without prejudicing one view over others & all technical terminology is clearly explained this book is an ideal introduction to free will for the uninitiated. ...
