The Economist on free will

The Economist: Liberalism and neurology | Free to choose?

As if the concept of free will wasn’t fraught long before we had MRI.

Update: this post from musings on neurology, etc. offers a reading list of primary literature on neurology & free will.

Deyrolle

ARAB311A.jpgresizedetail-1.jpgresizedetail.jpg

Deyrolle is a French company specializing in biological objets d’art, including taxidermy, insect cases, and vintage posters (above). Unfortunately, it’s in Paris. Fortunately, they have a great virtual tour of their store: Deyrolle (Tour)

They also have online shopping, although sadly, customs restrictions mean US residents can’t order a stuffed bison from them (even though the bison originally came from America - go figure). But if you were trying to find a Arabic-labeled diagram of the human skeleton for that especially hard-to-buy-for gift recipient, Deyrolle is your source.

Believe it or not, I found this site through Lucky Magazine. Yes, the shopping one. I was in the gym. There was nothing else to read.
