You will have to have paper copies of these books, which you will need to bring to class. The bookstore has notified me that you will have to request them to special order the physical copies of the books.

Reading Assignments:

1. Aug. 27: Introduction.
   
   Optional summer prereading: Thomas Pink, Free Will: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2004; for an overview of the problem space). Optional reading really is optional -- it's there in case you have an interest in following up on a topic or, in this case, in getting oriented ahead of time.
