An innovative and effective approach to organizational behavioral
management Despite more than 40 years of empirical and conceptual
research, the contribution of behavior analysis to the world of
business remains relatively small and organizational behavior
management gets little attention in both the academic and
professional communities. Acceptance and Mindfulness at Work
presents behavioral analysis of human language that's ready to use,
with applied extensions proven to have a significant impact in
organizational settings. The leading experts in the field examine
how these ongoing developments can help broaden the exploration of
the psychological issues relevant to organizational behavioral
management (OBM) in the workplace. Acceptance and Mindfulness at
Work presents conceptual and empirical articles, and reviews of
working examples of Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy (ACT) applied to organizational behavior
management. The book examines goal setting, feedback, task
descriptions, and workers' ability to learn as examples of how to
affect positive change in organizations through increased
productivity and improved quality of life in the workplace. The
possibilities presented by RTF can lead to advancements in employee
safety and training, stress and health management, employee
evaluation, managing absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover, and
self-management. Acceptance and Mindfulness at Work examines:
cognition in OBM industrial/organization (I/O) psychology how
interventions using ACT have increased psychological flexibility
rule-following feedback task performance feedback programmed
schedules of reinforcement goal setting, goal statements, and
goal-directed behavior how psychological flexibility and job
control can predict learning, job performance, and mental health
and much more Acceptance and Mindfulness at Work is a vital
professional resource for organization development practitioners
and human resource managers.

As a budding spy, what better way to conceal your clandestine
activities than to miniaturize your secret agent arsenal? Hide a
mini catapult in a breath mint tin. Turn a Tic Tac case into
vest-pocket candy shooter. Or transform a milk jug cap onto a fake
wristwatch that launches tiny paper darts. Toy designer and author
John Austin provides detailed, step-by-step instructions with
diagrams to show James Bondiacs how to build 35 different spy
weapons and surveillance tools.
All of the projects in "MiniWeapons of Mass Destruction 2 "are
built from common household items--binder clips, playing cards,
rubber bands, markers, clothespins, paper clips, and discarded
packaging--clearly detailed on materials lists. In addition to
movie-inspired sidearms and other "weapons," you'll find plans to
construct periscopes, bionic ears, grappling hooks, and decipher
pens.
Once you have assembled your arsenal, the author provides a
number of ideas on how to hide your stash--inside a deck of cards,
a false-bottom soda bottle, or a cereal box briefcase--and targets
for practicing your spycraft, including a flip-down firing range, a
fake security camera, and sharks with laser beams. And if you think
yourself more of an evil-genius in training, this book also has
projects to keep you busy while you finish planning your volcano
lair--a Q-pick blow gun, a paper throwing star, a bowler hat
launcher, and more. Fluffy Persian cat not included.
Utilizing easy-to-find and inexpensive materials, this handy
resource teaches desktop warriors how to build a multitude of
medieval siege weapons for the modern era. Novice combatants will
learn to build 35 defense weapons, including a marshmallow
catapult, a chopstick bow, a bottle cap crossbow, and a clothespin
ballista. In addition to beefing up their Dark Age arsenal,
would-be warriors are provided with a number of targets on which to
practice their shooting skills. Clear diagrams, instructions, and
safety tips for each project are included, making construction of
each of these weapons simple, safe, and fun.
PopularMechanics.com selection for one of The Best DIY and Home
Improvement Books of 2009 We've come a long way from the Peashooter
Era: with the advent of modern household products and office
supplies--binder clips, clothespins, rubber bands, ballpoint pens,
toothpicks, paper clips, plastic utensils, and (of course) matches
and barbeque lighters--troublemakers of all stripes have the
components needed to build an impressive, if somewhat miniaturized,
arsenal. Toy designer John Austin provides detailed, step-by-step
instructions for each project, including materials and ammo lists,
clear diagrams, and construction tips, for mayhem-loving MacGyvers.
The 35 devices include catapults, slingshots, minibombs, darts, and
combustion shooters. Build a tiny trebuchet from paper clips and a
D-cell battery. Wrap a penny in a string of paper caps to create a
surprisingly impressive "bomb." Several of the projects even
include variations where combatants mount laser pointer sights to
their shooters to increase their accuracy. Finally, once you've
built your armory, the author provides plans for a Top Secret
Concealing Book to hide your stash, as well as targets for shooting
practice. Never let your personal space go undefended again!
To become a ninja master, you need discipline, a silent footstep,
and an impressive personal arsenal. Author and toy designer John
Austin provides step-by-step instructions on how to turn everyday
household and office items into 37 different ninja weapons for the
modern era, including: the Crouching Tiger Catapult,Â
Paper Clip Grappling Hook, Origami Boomerang, Magazine
Nunchucks, Craft Stick Katana, Pencil Top Eraser Dart,
and more! Once you’ve assembled an armory, the author provides
several targets to practice your shooting skills—nested paper
cups become a dragon; chopsticks and a paper plate form a tripod
bulls-eye, and more. Armed, trained, and shrouded in black, you are
now prepared for missions of reconnaissance and sabotage and other
grim errands.
Being undead can be disorienting. Your arms and other appendages
tend to rot and fall off. It's difficult to communicate with a
vocabulary limited to moans and gurgles. And that smell (Yes, it's
"you.") But most of all, you must constantly find and ingest human
brains. Braaaains What's a zombie to do? Thankfully, zombiologist
John Austin details everything you need to know, as a newly undead
soul, to hunt, fight, and feed on the living. As the first handbook
written specifically for the undead, "So Now You're a Zombie"
explains how you ended up in this predicament, the stages of
zombification, and what you need to survive in this zombiphobic
world. Dozens of helpful diagrams outline attack strategies, such
as the Ghoul Reach, the Flanking Zack, the Bite Hold, and the
Aerial Fall, to secure your human prey. You'll even learn how to
successfully extract the living from boarded up farmhouses and
broken down vehicles. This handbook also explores the upside of
being a zombie. Gone are the burdens of employment, taxes, social
networks, even basic hygiene, allowing you to focus on simple
necessities in "life": the juicy gray matter found in the skulls of
the living.
This edition comprises the full text of The Province of
Jurisprudence Determined , a classic work of moral, political, and
legal philosophy, including the chapter on Utilitarianism and the
detailed discussion of social contract theory, which have been
excluded from previous editions. Also included is the essay on The
Uses of the Study of Jurisprudence , which gives an important
assessment of Austin's conception of analytical jurisprudence.
