I am an associate editor at Philosophy in Review, an open access book review journal. Many people see book reviewing as a chore but it is a valuable service to the profession. More than that, it is something worth doing in its own right. I use book reviewing as a motivation to read something I should read anyway, more carefully than I might do were I not required to write 1000-1500 words on it. Plus, free books!
The list of books available for review is here. Email me if you're interested in any of the books listed, using the link you'll find if you click on my name on the bar on the left (you must have a PhD or equivalent). Of most direct relevance to readers of Flickers, among the books currently available are the following:
David Hodgson, Rationality + Consciousness = Free Will (OUP, 2012).
Michael McKenna, Conversation and Responsibility (OUP 2012)
Jeffrey Poland and George Graham (eds) Addiction and Responsibility (MIT Press, 2011).
Tamler Sommers, Relative Justice: Cultural Diversity, Free Will, and Moral Responsibility (Princeton UP, 2011).
Richard Swinburne (ed) Free Will and Modern Science (OUP, 2011).
Nicole A. Vincent, Ibo van de Poel and Jeroen van den Hoven, Moral Responsibility: Beyond Free Will and Determinism (Springer 2011).
So why wouldn't you volunteer?
