"This book is published in Palgrave Macmillan's Philosophy Today series, which is supposed to provide researchers and advanced students of philosophy with an introduction to contemporary discussions in specific subfields of philosophy. ... this is a quick enjoyable read, clearly and concisely written. It gives the reader a taste of some of many fascinating issues that are being explored in contemporary philosophy of action." (Olle Blomberg, metapsychology online reviews, metapsychology.mentalhelp.net, Vol. 21 (3), January, 2017)
