Farewell Tom Holden
It's with sadness that we say farewell to Tom Holden, who is now leaving us to set up camp at UC Santa Barbara. Tom's been a great member of the department during his run here, and has done an excellent job teaching the various Early Modern courses. We just had a fun farewell party yesterday at Ben Bradley's house, and our respect for Tom as a philosopher has not dimished even in light of his extremely, extremely poor basketball skills. As a parting gift, since this is the most I can afford, I'd like to leave a link to Amazon UK where you can pre-order Tom's (self-explanitorily titled) book, The Architecture of Matter: Galileo to Kant. Tom's book developed out of his dissertation (advisor: Simon Blackburn) from Chapel Hill, which has received quite a bit of praise. Happy trails, Tom! We'll miss you.
